This essay draws upon historical epidemiological research on three global public health campaigns to illustrate this promise: the Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to control hookworm disease (1909-c.1930), the World Health Organization’s pilot projects for malaria eradication in tropical Africa (1950s-1960s), and the international efforts to shut down the transmission of Ebola virus disease during outbreaks in tropical Africa (1974-2019). 2020 artículo científico 0104-5970 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=386164741002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386164741002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386164741002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386164741002/386164741002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3861/386164741002/movil 10.1590/S0104-59702020000300002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3861 História, Ciências, Saúde - Manguinhos application/pdf Fundação Oswaldo Cruz História, Ciências, Saúde - Manguinhos (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.27 |
