Bacteriologia e medicina tropical britânicas: uma incursão a partir da Amazônia (1900-1901)

Abstract: Em junho de 1899, começou a funcionar a Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. No ano seguinte, dois de seus quadros, Herbert Edward Durham (1866-1945) e Walter Myers (1872-1901), viajaram para Belém, no Brasil, para investigar a febre amarela. Uma escala da viagem, em Havana, possibilitou o encontro com os norte-americanos que aí pesquisavam também a doença. Durham e Myers traziam a hipótese da transmissão por inseto hospedeiro, à semelhança do que acontecia com a malária, cujo modo de transmissão acabara de … Show more
