Description
"Margaret Humphreys approaches malaria from three perspectives: the parasite's biological history, the medical response to it, and the patient's experience of the disease. She asks how the parasite thrives and eventually becomes vulnerable, how professionals came to know about the parasite and learned how to fight it, and how people viewed the disease and came to understand and support the struggle against it." "[She] argues that malaria control was central to the evolution of local and federal intervention in public health and demonstrates the complex interaction among poverty, race, and geography in determining the fate of malaria."--Jacket.
