Synopsis

This book illuminates how the medical field historically approached contagion with specific case studies revolving around leprosy. By looking at behavior and patterns in cases where the disease is present, the author demonstrates how scientists of the time sought to delineate a method for identifying and then containing the spread of this disease. Early 20th-century medical professionals were still grappling with the transmission of the disease, but this book demonstrates how rigorous study was crucial in understanding contagion.
