CSP2.R8 The II International Sanitary ConventionWhereas the Republic of Mexico and the Panama Canal Zone, by the application of the mosquito doctrine to public sanitation, are nearing rapidly the desideratum of the final extinction of yellow fever; and
Whereas the Republic of Cuba, by the application of the same methods, has continued to maintain its territory free from yellow fever; and
Whereas as through lack of preparation to apply these methods the spread of yellow fever has been permitted in certain countries; and
Whereas in the city of New Orleans an epidemic which had been unfortunately allowed by the State authorities to take a firm foothold has been held in check, and has been gradually reduced by the application of the said methods in the midst of the largest nonimmune population that was ever exposed to yellow fever: Therefore be it
Resolved
1) That this convention sees in these results further confirmation of the view that yellow fever is naturally transmitted only by the bite of infected mosquitoes.
2) That the convention is of opinion that an efficient plan of defense against the propagation of yellow fever at the beginning of an epidemic can be easily established upon the basis of this doctrine.
3) That the successful carrying out of such plan depends upon a thorough understanding of the mosquito doctrine by the people, and upon the support that they may give to the prompt and frank reporting and the proper handling of the first cases, and of all suspicious cases.
4) That the convention expresses its censure of the sanitary authorities that do not report in due time the presence of yellow fever in their territory.
5) That the congratulations of the convention be extended to the Republics of Mexico and Cuba and to the Canal Zone of Panama for the success attained, and also to the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service for the brilliant work done in New Orleans; and be it further.
6) That in the opinion of this convention all maritime quarantine and the management of all epidemics that threaten to extend to neighboring States and countries should be placed in the hands of the national health authorities.
