Description
Historical Diseases from a Modern Perspectives examines the history of infectious diseases in America through the perspective of a modern lens. The text begins by outlining historical theories of disease causation, prevention, and cure, providing a contextual understanding for the reader. The ensuing chapters describe how diseases acquired their historical names and how they were treated before the era of modern medicine. Emphasis is placed on the impact of disease outbreaks on society and details how the understanding and treatment of these diseases developed over time, while dispelling traditional myths about disease etiology. An underling theme throughout the text is the omnipresent threat of historical disease reemergence due to waning vaccine immunities, vaccine hesitancy, antibiotic resistance and climate change.
The book focuses on multiple disease types of historical importance, including contagious diseases, vector-borne/zoonotic diseases, fecal-oral diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, substance use disorders, parasitic diseases, nutritional diseases, fungal diseases, and soil-related bacterial diseases.
