Paludism

By Alphonse Laveran

Book Overview

Paludism is a medical book written by Alphonse Laveran, a French physician, and parasitologist. The book was first published in 1898 and is considered a seminal work in the study of malaria, also known as paludism. In this book, Laveran describes the various forms of malaria, their symptoms, and the parasites that cause them. He also discusses the history of malaria, its distribution around the world, and the various methods of treatment that were available at the time. Laveran's work was groundbreaking in that he was the first to identify the parasite responsible for malaria, which he named Plasmodium. He also discovered that the disease was transmitted by mosquitoes, a finding that would later lead to the development of effective methods of prevention and control. Overall, Paludism is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the early study of malaria and the pioneering work of one of the field's most influential researchers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
