Infectious disease and public health Mauritius 1810-2010 / Raj Boodhoo.

"This work attempts to investigate major infectious diseases affecting Mauritius during the last two centuries, covering British rule (1810-1967) and Independent Mauritius (1968-2010). It takes into account the response of colonial and post-colonial governments as they developed public health policies and strategies to confront epidemics and pandemics."--From Introduction, page 7.
