Paludism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163508121)

Paludism is a scientific book written by Alphonse Laveran, a French physician and parasitologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1907 for his discovery of the parasite responsible for malaria. The book, originally published in French in 1898, is a comprehensive study of malaria, a disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Laveran's work provides a detailed description of the life cycle of the parasite, the symptoms and pathology of the disease, and the various methods of treatment and prevention. The book also includes Laveran's own research and observations on malaria, as well as the work of other scientists in the field. Paludism is considered a seminal work in the study of malaria and has been translated into several languages. It remains an important reference for researchers and healthcare professionals working to combat this deadly disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
