Description

Heredity and Infection examines how ideas about disease transmission have evolved over the last century, tracing two pivotal scientific revolutions that transformed modern biology and medicine. The bacteriological revolution of the 1890s and the genetic revolution at the start of the twentieth century fundamentally reshaped our understanding of illness causes and drove major changes in medical and administrative intervention. This scholarly work explores how these breakthroughs were not merely scientific achievements but also social and political watersheds that reconfigured the entire medical landscape. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine series, this book provides essential historical context for understanding how disease transmission concepts developed and influenced contemporary medical practice and policy.

Key Features

Heredity and Infection traces disease transmission concepts across a full century of scientific development and medical history.

The book examines the bacteriological revolution of the 1890s and its profound impact on understanding disease causes.

Genetic revolution at the twentieth century's start fundamentally changed how heredity and infection are understood in modern medicine.

Routledge's scholarly publication integrates history, science, and social policy to show how medical interventions were reconfigured.

This work in the Routledge Studies series combines scientific achievement with analysis of social and political change in healthcare.
