A History of the World in Six Plagues: How Contagion, Class, and Captivity Shaped Us, from Cholera to COVID-19 by Edna Bonhomme Amazon.com Ednabonhomme.com A deeply reported, insightful, and literary account of humankind's battles with epidemic disease, and their outsized role in deepening inequality along racial, ethnic, class, and gender lines—in the vein of Medical Apartheid and Killing the Black Body. Epidemic diseases enter the world by chance, but they become catastrophic by human design. With clear-eyed research and lush prose, A History of the World in Six Plagues shows that throughout history, outbreaks of disease have been exacerbated by and gone on to further expand the racial, economic, and sociopolitical divides we allow to fester in times of good health. Princeton-trained historian Edna Bonhomme's examination of humanity's disastrous treatment of pandemic disease takes us across place and time from Port-au-Prince to Tanzania, and from plantation-era America to our modern COVID-19-scarred world to unravel shocking truths about the patterns of discrimination in the face of disease. Based on in-depth research and cultural analysis, Bonhomme explores Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola, and COVID-19 amidst the backdrop of unequal public policy. But much more than a remarkable history, A History of the World in Six Plaguesis also a rising call for change.ABOUT Edna Bonhomme is a historian of science, culture writer, and journalist based in Berlin, Germany. She writes cultural criticism, literary essays, book reviews, and opinion pieces. Her writing explores how people navigate the difficult states of health—especially subjects that discuss contagious outbreaks, medical experiments, reproductive assistance, or illness narratives. She is a contributing writer for Frieze Magazine. Her writing has appeared in Al Jazeera, The Atlantic, The Baffler, Berliner Zeitung, Esquire, Frieze, The Guardian, London Review of Books, The Nation, Washington Post, among other publications.

Tropical medicine boomed as European powers claimed territories in Africa. Germany sent the famed Robert Koch and many others to the colonies to find cures to tropical illnesses - but also to test new medicines. This shadowy practice led to Africans being mistreated, and many died in the process, leaving a legacy of physical and psychological trauma that has never been properly cured.

Sleeping Sickness by Fleming Mant Sandwith audiobook. In the twenty-first century sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis in humans) is still a life-threatening disease of adults and children and a hazard to tourists in East African game parks.The protozoan parasite is transmitted by the tsetse fly, a buzzing insect with reddish eyes and a large biting proboscis. In 1912, when this short monograph was written, physicians of the British Empire understood that trans-continental expeditions manned by infected African porters, had set off an epidemic of sleeping sickness that had claimed half a million lives. Dr. Sandwith, an eyewitness to the disaster, traces this legacy of imperialism, from the traders who learned to reject slaves with swollen glands, through Stanley's trypanosome-transporting treks in search of Dr. Livingstone and of Emin Pasha, to the clinical description of the tremulous patient, his head aching and his body painfully sensitive to touch, whose sufferings are at last ended by a stupor from which he cannot be roused.

“Sickle cell is not all that we are – Sickle Cell is solvable.” Lea Kilenga Bey from Kenya founded the non-profit Africa Sickle Cell Organisation to campaign on behalf of people like her who live with an inherited blood condition known as sickle cell disease. Now a group of experts from around the world are calling on Governments to provide better care for people with conditions like Lea's. It comes just weeks after a study published in academic journal The Lancet Haematology showed that the number of people around the world who die with sickle cell disease could be as much as 11 times higher than previously estimated. Claudia Hammond speaks to Lea and hears from Professor Jennifer Knight-Madden in Jamaica where pioneering research has led to a newborn screening programme that helps to diagnose and treat Sickle Cell Disease in babies. Side by Side is a pilot initiative led by the Alzheimer's Society in the UK, pairing up volunteers with people living with dementia based on their common interests. It's how David met Simon, who learnt he had Alzheimer's disease during the Covid 19 lockdown. We hear from David, Simon, and Simon's wife Ruth about the pair's weekly walks and how they have helped Simon come to terms with his diagnosis. And Claudia is joined by Consultant in public health Dr Ike Anya. They discuss new research on living with dementia including a study that suggests resistance training might delay the onset of symptoms in people with Alzheimer's. There's an early breakthrough in finding a treatment for parasitic born African Trypanosomiasis or Sleeping Sickness. And the researchers combining health education with street theatre in Malawi. How an interactive performance involving “infectious” beach balls transmitted by a giant Tsetse fly is teaching people about catching Sleeping Sickness.

EPISODE 40 - City and Colour, Dallas Green from my Home Town - Sleeping Sickness and Underground - External Version Dallas Michael John Albert Green (born September 29, 1980) is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter and record producer who records under the name City and Colour. He is also known for his contributions as a singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. In 2005, he debuted his first full-length album, Sometimes, which achieved platinum certification in 2006. City and Colour began performing in small intimate venues between Alexisonfire tours.[3] The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour. His reasoning for the name was that he felt uneasy "putting the album out under the name Dallas Green "Sleeping Sickness" is the second single from City and Colour's second album, Bring Me Your Love. The song features vocals from Gord Downie, the lead singer of The Tragically Hip. The single was certified Platinum in Canada on December 10, 2018 Prolific singer-songwriter Dallas Green has announced the latest album in his City and Colour catalogue, previewed by new single "Underground." The Love Still Held Me Near arrives on March 31 via Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone. The sixth album follows 2019's A Pill for Loneliness. The 12-track record was co-produced by Green and longtime collaborator Matt Kelly, chronicling the most difficult period of the artist's life — including the tragic death of his best friend in 2019, as eulogized in previous single "Meant to Be." "The Love Still Held Me Near was born out of unimaginable loss and the subsequent journey through the grief and heartache that followed," Green said in a press release. "It's about digging deep down into yourself and attempting to unearth hope and light in the things that can comfort you through those times. For me that has always been writing and recording music, so that's exactly what I did." Life-affirming new single "Underground" sees the singer-songwriter's soulful exploration of gratitude through. "Like a great Canadian darkness, I will cover you," he sings, expressing his desire to protect his loved ones after suffering a great loss.

Starting In 1915, cases of something known as encephalitis lethargica started popping up around the globe. Symptoms were varied, but included some sort of lethargy or tiredness, with some more extreme manifestations. But exactly how many people were infected and what exactly caused this remains one of medical history's greatest mysteries. So, yeah, we're going to leave you hanging on that.

Underground Feed Back Stereo - Brothers Perspective Magazine - Leopold of Belgium - Atrocities in the Congo Severed Hands Small Pox Red Rubber Sleeping Sickness During the Berlin Conference of 1884–1885, Europeans colonized the Congo Basin region to a private charitable organization run by Leopold II, who had aspirations of being a colonizer. This land under Leopold's seizure was more than 1,000,000 square miles; The stolen land colony was considered profitable. The Europeans infatuated demand for natural rubber, which was plentiful in the Congo, created the perfect storm of more European Greed in the 1890s. To help facilitate the thievery and stealing of rubber, all Parts of the land in the Congo was nationalized, with the majority distributed to private companies as concessions. The Hells on Earth in a Red Rubber System designed by the Belgium helped to create its own forced labor system or a new Slave Society in the Congo. The Belgian Dutch ran Free State administration were able to use virtually any rules they wanted to increase production and profits without state interference. abuses became the law of the land due to ruthless tyrant behavior placed upon the Congolese people by the Belgian Dutch Outsiders. The duration of service by the enslaved was out of control because nothing was regulated by any laws and left to the Belgian colonizers on the land. From 1885 to 1908, well-documented atrocities were perpetrated in the Congo Free State (now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo) during this time the Nation was labeled a colony because of forced individual control by Leopold II of Belgium. This control was in place to steal natural rubber for monetary export. The Belgian Colonizers forced epidemic disease, famine, and a falling birth rate caused by these disruptions, the atrocities contributed to a sharp decline in the Congolese population. The scale of the population estimates range to more than 15 million African people. The Congo Free State was a corporate state controlled by Leopold II through a non-governmental organization called the International African Association.This state included all of present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo that existed from 1885 until 1908. The Belgium government reluctantly gave up the area. #diabetes #75dab #guncontrol #birthcontrol #gentrification #stopviolence #blackmusic #chicago #southsidechicago #blackart #redlining #maumau #biko70 #chicago #soldout #PersonalOpinionDataBase #protest #blackart #africanart #gasprices #undergroundfeedbackstereo #blackpeople #race #brothersperspectivemagazine brothersperspective.com undergroundfeedbackstereo.com joelefthandrecords.com feat. art by instagram.com/nappy9folics www.nappy9folics.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brothersperspectivemag/message

There are discussions in Geneva over how to govern the use of lethal autonomous weapons. Some UN member states have called for an all-out ban on so-called 'killer robots', while the US says there should be a code of conduct. We find out more about the debate from Emilia Javorsky, who is director of Scientists Against Inhumane Weapons, and Justin Bronk, research fellow for airpower and military technology at the Royal United Services Institute. Also in the programme, as more and more vehicles become battery powered, demand for lithium, used in battery production, is expected to soar. The Democratic Republic of Congo is thought to have large deposits of lithium, but human rights campaign group Global Witness is warning the country may not benefit from the financial boost the industry could bring, as Paul Donowitz, head of natural resource governance for the organisation explains. Plus, despite claiming many lives each year, some diseases like Leishmaniasis and Sleeping Sickness are classed as neglected, because their treatment is underfunded by the international community. The BBC's Vivienne Nunis investigates whether the funding model for such diseases needs an overhaul.

A special birthday episode, for our special birthday host, Angeliki! It says a lot about both of us as people that this might be one of our favourite ways to celebrate- if we can't be together of course. Deep dive with us on this episode, as we look at the origins of human history, colonialism, and their direct repercussions in the modern day, through the lens of sleeping sickness.  This is the disease that launched 16 episodes (our origin story), and one that we had a lot of fun/trauma with. Hope you enjoy!

Did you know that around the time of the Spanish Flu, another pandemic was sweeping across the world? This mysterious malady may have been gone within a decade, but for those that survived it, it would be literally on their minds long after the acute stage was over for the rest of their lives.This episode goes into the history of Encephalitis Lethargica, aka, Sleeping Sickness from the time it started in 1916 and discusses the acute and chronic stages of the disease. Also, discussed is the treatment given to patients after having lived with the debilitating disorder for decades.

Mari Webel (University of Pittsburgh) discusses the impact of sleeping sickness at the turn of the 20th century in East Africa. Mari talks about the role of sleeping sickness both before and after European colonization and how this disease shaped public health more broadly. She also speaks about the experience of local inhabitants during imperial efforts to stop sleeping sickness. The conversation also covers African history, thinking about how it is taught and researched, while considering the sources that researchers use.

In The Politics of Disease Control. Sleeping Sickness in Eastern Africa, 1890-1920 (Ohio University Press, 2019), Mari K. Webel tells a history of colonial interventions among three communities of the Great Lakes region of East Africa. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Eastern African societies faced a range of social, political and economic challenges, many of which were connected to the establishment of British and German colonial regimes. In the midst of these, African societies experienced an epidemic outbreak of human African Trypanosomiasis, commonly known as “sleeping sickness.” The epidemic posed a serious threat to the economic prospects of colonial regimes who felt it necessary to authorize and fund large scale campaigns aimed at researching a treatment that could cure and stop the spread of the disease. Dr. Webel locates these colonial interventions in the context of the rich intellectual worlds that Great Lakes' communities used to make sense of experiences of misfortune and illness. She argues that only by understanding the concepts and strategies that Africans had historically used to navigate challenging times, can we explain how and whether they chose to interact with the health efforts promoted by colonial authorities. The book highlights the long, largely neglected, and mostly unsuccessful, quest to eradicate or treat human African trypanosomiasis. It explains the impact that early campaigns to contain the disease had on the rationale and design of subsequent public health interventions in other parts of Africa, and how colonial narratives continue to affect modern research agendas into tropical diseases. Moreover, the book underscores the importance of paying attention to local, cultural and historical factors in the design of any public health campaign. Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia is Associate Professor of History at Montclair State University. She specializes in modern intellectual history of Africa, historiography, World history and Philosophy of History. She is the co-author of African Histories: New Sources and New Techniques for Studying African Pasts (Pearson, 2011).   Learn more about your ad choices.

In the midst of these, African societies experienced an epidemic outbreak of human African Trypanosomiasis, commonly known as “sleeping sickness.” The epidemic posed a serious threat to the economic prospects of colonial regimes who felt it necessary to authorize and fund large scale campaigns aimed at researching a treatment that could cure and stop the spread of the disease. Dr. Webel locates these colonial interventions in the context of the rich intellectual worlds that Great Lakes’ communities used to make sense of experiences of misfortune and illness. She argues that only by understanding the concepts and strategies that Africans had historically used to navigate challenging times, can we explain how and whether they chose to interact with the health efforts promoted by colonial authorities. The book highlights the long, largely neglected, and mostly unsuccessful, quest to eradicate or treat human African trypanosomiasis. It explains the impact that early campaigns to contain the disease had on the rationale and design of subsequent public health interventions in other parts of Africa, and how colonial narratives continue to affect modern research agendas into tropical diseases. Moreover, the book underscores the importance of paying attention to local, cultural and historical factors in the design of any public health campaign.

WEM founder Mark Hannaford interviews Ilan Moss the maker of a remarkable film - A doctor’s dream: A pill for sleeping sickness Winner at Health for All Film Festival Dr. Victor Kande Betu Kumesu is a Congolese doctor who has spent the last 40 years of his life working to combat sleeping sickness and led clinical trials for fexinidazole, the first oral-only drug that is expected to accelerate the elimination of the disease in Sub-Saharan Africa. As the former director of the DRC’s sleeping sickness program, Dr. Kande spent decades treating patients with sleeping sickness when the only available drug was melarsoprol, an older, arsenic-based medicine that kills one in every 20 patients. .Frustrated by the lack of medicines and refusing to accept that melarsoprol was the only option, Dr. Kande partnered with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and their newly formed Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) to research better sleeping sickness treatments, which led to a 15-year collaboration and clinical trials for a new drug. When DNDi identified the drug fexinidazole as a promising candidate, Dr Kande led the clinical trials needed to test the drug and championed what would become a revolutionary treatment. Compared to the previous injectable drug, fexinidazole has lower mortality rates and can be administered more easily and rapidly, even in rural settings. It can treat both stages of the disease and eliminates the need for a painful spinal tap to see how far the disease has progressed. . Dr. Kande served as Principal Investigator from 2012-2017 and oversaw the screening of two million people to recruit participants. He enabled the training of health personnel and ensured that the trials met strict international standards. Fexinidazole was approved for use last November, and with about 65 million people in sub-Saharan Africa at risk, it has the potential to save many lives and even to eliminate sleeping sickness altogether. Fexinidazole and its development would not have been possible without the vital contributions, resilience, determination and vision of Dr Kande. . 'By the time the infection had invaded Ange Bukabau's central nervous system and begun to affect her brain, her family didn't know what to do with her. She was acting erratic, out of control. "I was going crazy," says Bukabau, 32, who makes her living as a vendor in a small town in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about 200 miles east of the capital, Kinshasa. Her family members were frightened — and convinced it was witchcraft. Maybe she had sought a charm to attract a rich man and ended up cursed. "They worried I was a danger to my children, so they took them both away," she recalls. "I was alone." What neither she nor her family nor the nurse she had seen had realized was that she had contracted African sleeping sickness — a parasitic disease that, if left untreated, essentially drives people mad before killing them. Happily, Bukabau made it to a hospital just in time and was one of the first patients to be treated with fexinidazole, the first treatment for sleeping sickness that relies on pills alone. On Friday, it earned approval from Europe's drug regulatory agency, paving the way for its use in DRC and across east, central and southern Africa, where the disease occurs, by mid-2019. Sustained efforts to cure the disease and to combat the tsetse flies that transmit it have already brought the number of cases down from more than 10,000 a decade ago to a couple of thousand last year. Experts say this new, simplified medication, which can cure the infection within 10 days, is an important step toward the elimination of African sleeping sickness. Currently, the most common treatment for the disease involves administering two intravenous transfusions of the drug eflornithine daily for a week. It's a huge undertaking for sparsely staffed and funded hospitals in rural, sub-Saharan Africa, especially in areas beset by violent conflict. "The infusion treatment caused suffering in the patients as well, causing convulsions or seizures," says Dr. Victor Kande, who headed clinical trials for the new medication. Early stage sleeping sickness is easier to treat but difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are generic — fever, headache, tiredness. To confirm that patients have the second stage of the disease, and thereby are eligible for the infusions, doctors have to administer a painful spinal tap to see whether the parasites have reached their brains. The new medication treats all stages of the disease, so doctors can confirm infections with a simpler blood test. "And the main side effect is just nausea," says Kande. "Plus, people can just take it at home. They don't have to stay at the hospital for a week or more." The more efficient diagnosis and treatment could mean fewer people will carry the disease undetected — and that means a smaller pool of infected people that can be bitten by tsetse flies. For Kande, who has been treating sleeping sickness since the 1970s, the treatment — born out of a collaboration between the pharmaceutical company Sanofi and the nonprofit Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative — has been a long time coming. "It was in 1978 that I treated my first patient with sleeping sickness," says Kande, who started out as a physician in the remote Equateur region of DRC and later headed the county's national sleeping sickness program. "I've seen real suffering." Back then, the only option was a drug called melarsoprol, a derivative of arsenic that is still used in some cases. "We'd inject it into patients' veins, and it would cause them so much pain and they'd tremble," Kande says. Between 5 and 20 percent of patients died of complications from the toxic drug. As word about the excruciating treatment spread, patients with symptoms started to avoid going to the hospital, Kande says. Others live in areas without hospitals and can't afford the transportation to get there. The availability of a cure at local pharmacies and health centres is a game-changer, he says. And whereas the existing treatment costs nearly $400 per patient to manufacture, the new treatment will cost about half of that, according to Sanofi. Plus, pills will be a lot easier and cheaper to transport than heavy infusion kits, especially in conflict-ridden areas of eastern DRC where violence is escalating alongside an ongoing Ebola outbreak. "This is absolutely a huge breakthrough," agrees Wes Van Voorhis, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Washington. "There could be a lot of people who get treated with the pill that just don't have access to the infusions." The clinical trial for the new sleeping sickness drug was relatively small — involving about 750 patients in Congo and the Central African Republic. But Van Voorhis, who wasn't involved in the trials, says it is sufficient to show that the medication works. "To even find that many patients for the trial is a feat," he says, given the low number of cases, most of them in remote regions. Regardless of how many or few cases there are, it's crucial to address and eradicate sleeping sickness, Van Voorhis adds — "just because this disease in the past has cycled between very few and very many cases. It has a history of coming back and really afflicting large numbers of poor people. And it causes such intense misery." Ange Bukabau — who made a full recovery and reunited with her kids — says thankfully, she doesn't remember the worst of it. "What I really want people to know is that African sleeping sickness exists. It's here and it causes suffering," she says. "Though at least for me, everything is finally OK."'

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Demetrice (Dee) Jordan.Dee is a dual-Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment and Spatial Science and the Environmental Science and Policy Program. Her dissertation research focuses on risk reduction approaches to the tsetse fly and African trypanosomiasis or ‘sleeping sickness' control in sub-Saharan Africa. Sleeping sickness is a vector-borne parasitic illness transmitted by the bite of a trypanosome infected tsetse fly and affects both humans and animals. In humans, African trypanosomiasis has a case fatality rate of near 100%, if left untreated. While treatments exist, they are often very expensive and toxic. Currently, no vaccine is available. Each year an estimated 60 million Africans are at risk of contracting the disease from daily subsistence activities. Dee's research seeks to reduce the burden of risk through spatial models that identify areas where exposure is most likely, introduce novel applications for vector control in risk areas and develop multi-scale participatory policies to control and eradicate the tsetse fly.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.

Colonialism and Imperialism are among the most controversial historical narratives. An outbreak of Sleeping Sickness disease in the Belgian Congo during the early 1900's provides a lens through which to examine the legacy of European Imperialism and the Scramble for Africa. The epidemic brings up interesting questions about the implementation of control by colonial authorities, the use of western medicine in Africa, and the legacy of Imperialism.

Transmitted by the bite of the tsetse flu (Glossina spp.), African trypanosomiasis, of sleeping sickness is a serious infection caused by microscopic parasites of the species Trypanosoma brucei. Although the infection is not found in the United States, historically, it has been a serious public health problem in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa. In 2014, 3,796 sleeping sickness cases were reported to the World Health Organization; T. b. gambiense accounted for >98% of cases. Many cases, however, are probably not recognized nor reported. I recently had a long conversation with Associate Professor of Infectious Disease and International Medicine at USF Health, Sandra Gompf, MD about a myriad of infectious disease topics from her handy book, Gompf's ID pearls and one on the topics I asked her about was African sleeping sickness.
