An analysis of the origins and development of the study of infectious, epidemic diseases in animals and man.
"Regardless of the discipline of an academic veterinarian, I believe this book to be a must in one's reading list as a help in understanding the role of veterinary medicine in its service to mankind." R.B. Talbot, Journal of Veterinary Medical Education "The mastery of primary and secondary sources, wit, and style make this book enjoyable reading." T.P. Gariepy, Choice "...an interesting book that will have special appeal to veterinarians, edidemiologists, and teachers of preventive medicine and public health...should be read by all those who are interested in epidemiology." James H. Steele, New England Journal of Medicine "... an important edition to the literature of veterinary medicine and is not just for history buffs. For those who wish to pursue individual topics further, there are 37 pages of references and annotation." J. Fred Smithcors, Agri-Practice "...traces the history of veterinary medicine from antiquity through virological research in animal pathology conducted at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in the twentieth century...a valuable contribution. It is also topical in the brave new world of baboon liver transplants and speculation about the primate origins of AIDS." Susan E. Lederer, ISIS
