Haynes \u2013 Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001.<\/a> Shelf mark: DY (MAN). Follow link for e-book version (LSHTM staff and students only)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This biography of Patrick Manson\u00b9 looks at his life and work through the lens of British imperialism in the Victorian era, from his medical education in Scotland, to his early work in Taiwan right through to the founding of the London School of Tropical Medicine. If we are to understand the colonial origins of the study of tropical medicine in London, and indeed the rise of a \u201cWestern\u201d system of medicine, this is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<p>Manson is of particular interest to our School for these reasons, and for his role in the discovery of the transmission of the malaria parasite by mosquitoes. As the colonial system began to break down, debates over a British focused study of tropical medicine intensified, the Lancet suggesting that the discipline of tropical medicine be absorbed into the study of infectious diseases.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Notes<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Manson was the author <em>Tropical Diseases<\/em>, published circa 1898. There have been several subsequent editions under the title <em>Manson\u2019s Tropical Diseases <\/em>up to and including the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> edition, published in 2013.
