Conceptual conflict: malaria control and intermecine warfare within a London postgraduate school.
For more than twenty years after the end of World War II, uneasy relations existed between epidemiologists and protozoologists within the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, reflecting differences in their individual approaches to malariology and malaria control. The paper explores the particular problems created by the polarised views and lack of sympathy between George Macdonald and P.C.C. Garnham throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
