L'épidémie de fièvre jaune de Saint-Nazaire en 1861 (2006)

unapi

In 1861 a brief epidemic of Yellow Fever made 26 dead among 44 sick persons. Because of the lack of knowledge it was impossible to understand why the people on the shore were hit while some sailors leaving the boat were not. Thus Melier championed the concept of transmission by an agent carried by the atmosphere. Without epidemiological knowledge he was able to bring about some pre-emptive measures.
