	Yellow Fever and Globalization by John R. McNeill - The Globalist > > Global Health
		The American yellow fever virus is extremely close to the West African one, and the symptoms of disease are identical everywhere.
		Yellow fever strongly favored local populations over invaders and immigrants, strongly favored populations with West Africans as opposed to those without them and even favored populations with children as opposed to those made up exclusively of adults.
		Yellow fever was most dangerous to unadulterated populations of young adult Europeans — precisely the composition of expeditionary forces.

		Pathophysiology: The pathophysiology of yellow fever infection was largely inferred from vaccine studies in rhesus monkeys using the attenuated 17D vaccine.
		Yellow fever epidemics were dominant in Africa from 1986-1991, with close to 20,000 cases and 6000 deaths.
		Yellow fever's range continues to expand, now including areas in which it previously was believed to be eradicated (eg, eastern and southern African countries).

		Requests for malaria units during the first half of 1943 had indicated that the medical malaria control organization was essential and was suited to perform a highly important function in the oversea theaters in malarious areas.
		The success of the special medical malaria control organization in the oversea combat theaters was attested by the rapid growth of the organization as the war progressed and by its accomplishments in bringing malaria and other insect-borne diseases under control.
		Since malaria control and survey units were new and untested organizations, proper planning for their inclusion in projected troop requirements overseas was not attained until the later stages of the war.

		The game marked the official start of a global movement against an illness that is “completely preventable and eradicable,” said Lance Laifer, founder of Hedge Funds vs. Malaria, at a press conference at the UN Headquarters in New York City.
		In just one of many recent and future initiatives, “Dunk Malaria” is an ambitious plan launched by Laifer to symbolically connect the idea of a basketball net to the bed netting used in preventing the spread of malaria.
		Taking simple measures like installing proper netting or spraying walls every six months would not only impede the spread of malaria but also other diseases such as Gambian sleeping sickness and yellow fever, both of which are also spread by flying insects and kill hundreds of thousands of people annually.

		The effectiveness of treatment with antimalarial medicines is, however, threatened by the growing resistance of falciparum malaria to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, which were once effective against the disease.
		The Roll Back Malaria (RBM) global initiative has set a target of reducing malaria mortality by 50% by 2010, and the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the disease with effective antimalarial medicines are fundamental components of this strategy.
