Dr. White and the New Orleans Yellow Fever Campaign
A brief recount of Dr. White's role in controlling yellow fever in New Orleans. The plan included a $250,000 effort to reclaim the city from the disease by killing the yellow fever mosquito in eggs and spraying water pools with kerosene and crude oil. The campaign led to the last case by October and transformed local sanitation, with Dr. White later leading health efforts for the U S Public Health Service and the Army camps in the South western Department.
