The importance of historical epidemiology in the global health decision-making process is the main topic of this<\/a> article by James Webb Jr., professor emeritus at the Colby College in the United States.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Historical epidemiology and global health history<\/a>\u00a0(HCSM vol.27\u00a0\u00a0supl.1\u00a0Rio de Janeiro\u00a0Sept.\u00a02020) is part of our special issue The meaning(s) of global public health history<\/a>\u00a0.<\/div>\n

Webb analyzes three examples of public health campaigns: the efforts\u00a0by the Rockefeller Foundation to control\u00a0 hookworm disease (1909-1930) ; the World Health Organization (WHO) project to eradicate malaria in tropical Africa in the 1950s and 1960s; and international efforts to shut down the transmission of Ebola virus disease during outbreaks in tropical Africa (1974-2019).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
According to the article, historical knowledge about past campaigns might act as a brake on the re-launching of similar approaches that have not achieved their stated goals in the past; halt initiatives that might produce unwanted outcomes; suggest new roles for neglected approaches that achieved success in the past; and open new avenues for scientific exploration.<\/div>\n
