Dissertation A SICKLY LITTLE WAR: EPIDEMIC DISEASE, MILITARY CAMPAIGNS, AND THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR By Mark A. Youngren A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT A SICKLY LITTLE WAR: EPIDEMIC DISEASE, MILITARY CAMPAIGNS, AND THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR By Mark A. Youngren Before the twentieth century, disease killed more people during military operations than enemy action. This was particularly the case when soldiers from the temperate regions of Europe and North America were sent to fight in the tropical regions of the world, where they faced a disease environment filled with pathogens against which they possessed no natural defenses. The fear of epidemic disease was a constant companion for senior commanders down to the lowliest soldier, affecting when, where, and how the war was planned, fought, and supported; it affected who was recruited to fight and the willingness of individuals to go to war; and as epidemics began it greatly increased the burden on supply and transportation systems while requiring more and more recruits to simply maintain the numbers available to fight. Despite this, many histories of conflicts fought during this era have treated disease as merely an environmental factor that reduced the fighting strength of each side, less important than the strategies, tactics, and weapons which have been the focus of traditional histories of war. As medicine improved from the humoral theories of the ancient world to the bacteriological revolution that ushered in the germ theory of disease, military commanders and doctors began to understand the disease threats, but even at the end of the nineteenth century that knowledge was frustratingly incomplete. The Spanish-American War (1898) was one of the last conflicts of this disease era – more than seven men died from a disease for every one killed by enemy action. This research is the first scholarly effort to place as much emphasis on the medical weapons available to fight or avoid disease as on the military weapons used to fight the enemy, combining medical and epidemiological history with military history to evaluate the decisions made by the senior American leadership in light of the new discoveries on infectious disease and the lessons learned from previous conflicts fought in tropical regions. It shows that many of the deaths from that war were avoidable given the information available to the decision makers; furthermore, the country came close to losing the critical Cuban campaign of the war due to epidemic disease and the failure to prepare for the known disease environment on the island. Doctors were still torn between the older theories of miasma and contagion and the newer theories of bacteriology and insect vectors, puzzled by viral diseases that failed to show a disease bacterium visible under the microscope. To the thousands of men that died from typhoid, dysentery, malaria, and yellow fever, the Spanish-American War was not a “splendid little war” but rather a “sickly little war” that found the military and medical leadership woefully unprepared despite the medical and military knowledge available to them.

  • Sampling Adults by Animal Bait Catches and by Animal-Baited Traps
    Chapter 5 Sampling Adults by Animal Bait Catches and by Animal-Baited Traps The most fundamental method for catching female mosquitoes is to use a suit­ able bait to attract hungry host-seeking individuals, and human bait catches, sometimes euphemistically called landing counts, have been used for many years to collect anthropophagic species. Variations on the simple direct bait catch have included enclosing human or bait animals in nets, cages or traps which, in theory at least, permit the entrance of mosquitoes but prevent their escape. Other attractants, the most widely used of which are light and carbon dioxide, have also been developed for catching mosquitoes. In some areas, especially in North America, light-traps, with or without carbon dioxide as a supplement, have more or less replaced human and animal baits as a routine sampling method for several species (Chapter 6). However, despite intensive studies on host-seeking behaviour no really effective attractant has been found to replace a natural host, and consequently human bait catches remain the most useful single method of collecting anthropophagic mosquitoes. Moreover, although bait catches are not completely free from sampling bias they are usually more so than most other collecting methods that employ an attractant. They are also easily performed and require no complicated or expensive equipment. HUMAN BAIT CATCHES Attraction to hosts Compounds used by mosquitoes to locate their hosts are known as kairomones, that is substances from the emitters (hosts) are favourable to the receiver (mosquitoes) but not to themselves. Emanations from hosts include heat, water vapour, carbon dioxide and various host odours.

We are here to see Ballet Folklórico Cutumba, one of eastern Cuba’s premier folkloric dance troupes. Although the theater is run down and no longer has electricity or running water, its former el- egance is apparent. As we enter, we see that lush but tattered velvet drapes flank the stage and ornate architectural details adorn the walls underneath faded and peeling paint. Light filters in through high windows. As the per- formance starts, women in elaborate ball gowns enter this dusty stage. They must hold up their voluminous skirts to keep yards of fabric from drag- ging on the floor.

    A MONOGRAPH OFTHE CULICIDAE OF THE WORLD. GENERAL NOTES. Several notes of general interest have been made and sent by correspondents that can scarcely be incorporated in the systematic part of this book. These are presented here. THE RELATIVEFREQUENCE OF CULICINAAND ANOPHELINA. It is interesting to note the relative frequence of these two sections of the CFulicidae. In most cases observations made personally during the past two years show that in Great Rritain the Anophelina, where they occur at all, are relatively more abundant in habitations than Culex. At Great Staughton during August the numbers counted in a privy in the morning were as follows during the week ending the 26th :-- 20th . 10 AM. Culex 12 ; Anopheles 37 21st . ,) .

Credit: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory. 1 Abstract In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1434 et seq.), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for the proposed designation of Wisconsin - Lake Michigan as a National Marine Sanctuary. The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.
