The book focuses on the medical and sanitary efforts undertaken to eliminate yellow fever in Panama, as well as the essential discoveries made regarding its transmission. Through the analysis of historical battles against the disease, the work discusses the strategies implemented to safeguard health during the construction of the Panama Canal. At the start of the book, Gorgas establishes the severe threat yellow fever posed to both humans and economies, particularly in Havana. He recounts the devastating impacts of the disease during past epidemics and introduces the significant discoveries of the Reed Board, highlighting the role of the stegomyia mosquito in transmitting yellow fever. The opening sets the stage for Gorgas's preventive measures, emphasizing the importance of sanitation in eradicating the disease as well as detailing the ongoing challenges faced by health officials in containing its spread.
