- Title
William H. Park (1863-1939): His Laboratory and His Legacy.
- Authors
Schaeffer, Morris
- Abstract
The article focuses on the works of U.S. bacteriologist William H. Park during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Park's interest in the high infant mortality rate from the consumption of heavily contaminated milk turned him into the leading authority in the development of methods for the bacterial control of milk supplies. He was also known for being among the first to recognize the existence of healthy carriers of microbial agents. He urged New York financier Jeremiah Milbank to support the establishment of the International Committee for the Study of Infantile Paralysis in 1928.
