Victims are wracked by stomach cramps and suffer intense diarrhoea. Death can come within hours.Though now seeming a distant memory in Europe, which suffered several epidemics in the 19th century before John Snow identified the link with water, it is still a serious threat in many parts of the world - Zimbabwe is a recent example. Snow's discovery was one of the great breakthroughs of epidemiology and a wonderful story from the history of science. Later came the discovery of the culprit organism - Cholera vibrio - understanding of its life cycle, and the develBiographies of disease (Oxford, England)CholeraHistory19th centuryCholeraHistory20th centuryCholeraHistoryCholeraHistory614.5/14616.932Hamlin Christopher1951-1120283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780902803321Cholera3717398UNINA01220nam0 22003131i 450 UON0032871020231205104211.46805-7113-221-920090804d1984 |0itac50 baengGB|||| 1||||Secondary worldsW.H.

Such movement raises questions about the nature of therapeutic citizenship, how and where structurally vulnerable populations obtain care, and the political geography of blame associated with this disease. This volume brings together cutting-edge anthropological research carried out across North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia, representing low-, middle- and high-resource countries with a diversity of national health care systems.
