"Bloom's skillfully crafted analysis provides a fascinating perspective on the nineteenth century's confused response to a terrifying malady, illuminating the psychological and scientific climate of the time. The great epidemic struck at a time when theories about the nature of yellow fever and other infectious diseases were in transition. Local health boards acted on the idea that a germ propagating on the ground was the cause of yellow fever, and sprinkled carbolic acid to disinfect threatened areas. The public fell back on time-honored expedients, burning straw and pine tar in the streets to purify the noxious atmosphere. Meanwhile, fatalists called for fasting and prayer." "Estimates of the epidemic's economic cost to the country ran as high as $200 million, an amount equal to nearly one-third of the nation's annual exports. The wide diffusion of the contagion and its broad economic impact meant that yellow fever was a national rather than regional concern, and spurred federal, state, and local governments to begin to overhaul and refine quarantine and sanitation policies. But until it was discovered that mosquitoes carry the virus, these governmental efforts would only amount to swinging at phantoms.".

"In the nineteenth century, New Orleans was stigmatized by an extremely high mortality rate . One of the major causes of this frightening annual death roll was yellow fever. The sporadic arrival of fever caused tens of thousands of citizens to flee; while at the same time, anxious neighbors in nearby towns tracked the fever's movement. The severity of yellow fever epidemics was erratic and puzzled physicians. In some years thousands of people perished; at other times only a handful died. This ghastly phenomenon appeared in the summer and remained until late autumn and marked New Orleans as a dangerous place. For decades the laymen in New Orleans determined the first frost was the sign that the fever was quickly fading, and for that reason residents hoped and prayed for this meteorological blessing" -- back cover.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral animal disease which causes periodic severe epidemics, principally involving ruminant animals. As well as its severe socio-economic and public health consequences, this serious transboundary animal disease is a major constraint to international livestock trade. This manual provides information on the nature of RVF and options for its prevention, control and elimination. It outlines a suggested national RVF contingency plan, to be modified to suit the circumstances of individual countries, as well as identifying personnel, equipment and other facilities required.

Since the dawn of medical science, people have recognized connections between a change in the weather and the appearance of epidemic disease. With today's technology, some hope that it will be possible to build models for predicting the emergence and spread of many infectious diseases based on climate and weather forecasts. However, separating the effects of climate from other effects presents a tremendous scientific challenge. Can we use climate and weather forecasts to predict infectious disease outbreaks? Can the field of public health advance from "surveillance and response" to "prediction and prevention?" And perhaps the most important question of all: Can we predict how global warming will affect the emergence and transmission of infectious disease agents around the world? Under the Weather evaluates our current understanding of the linkages among climate, ecosystems, and infectious disease; it then goes a step further and outlines the research needed to improve our understanding of these linkages. The book also examines the potential for using climate forecasts and ecological observations to help predict infectious disease outbreaks, identifies the necessary components for an epidemic early warning system, and reviews lessons learned from the use of climate forecasts in other realms of human activity.
