Summary
Details

Uncinariasis (Hookworm Disease) in Porto Rico: A Medical and Economic Problem, Volume 59, by Bailey Kelly Ashford, delves into the prevalence and impact of hookworm disease in early 20th-century Porto Rico. Ashford meticulously examines the medical aspects of the disease, detailing its symptoms, diagnosis, and potential treatments available at the time. Beyond the purely medical, the book explores the significant economic consequences of widespread hookworm infection, highlighting its effects on the labor force and overall societal productivity.

This historical work provides invaluable insights into the challenges faced by communities dealing with endemic parasitic diseases and underscores the importance of public health initiatives in mitigating their impact. It remains a vital resource for understanding the interplay between medicine, economics, and society in the context of infectious disease control.
