tropical medicine

Tropical medicine is the branch of modern medicine that deals with endemic diseases widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, such as malaria. The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (1898) and the London School of Tropical Medicine (1899) in Britain are two eminent examples dedicated to fighting against tropical disease. I recently read an article related to this: G. C. Cook's "Charles Wiberforce Daniels, FRCP (1862-1927): underrated pioneer of tropical medicine," Acta Tropica, Vol. 81, 2002, pp. 237-250.

The story begins from Dr. Patrick Manson, who founded the London School of Tropical Medicine in 1899, to Charles Wiberforce Daniels, who was one of the earliest pioneers of tropical medicine. Daniels became Director of the new Institute of Medical Research in the Federated Malay States from 1903 to 1905 during which he released Observations on the disease of British Malaya (Studies from Institute for Medical Research, Federated Malay States, No. 3, Part 1 & 2, pp 66) and The Outbreaks of rinderpest in Selangor, 1903 & 1904 (Studies from Institute for Medical Research, Federated Malay States, No. 3, Part 4, pp. 19), which were published by Kelly and Walsh in Singapore in 1904. (K & W, which is my focus, also published Hamilton Wright's Malarial fever of British Malaya (Studies from Institute for Medical Research, Federated Malay States, No. 1, Vol. 1, pp 98) in 1901)
