This study examines population trends in Burma during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, looking in particular at public health and the epidemiology of disease. In developing this material, the author also presents a wide-ranging social history of modern Burma, relating the history of particular diseases to cultural beliefs and practices, as well as population movements, developments in agriculture and irrigation, nutritional trends, and the deployment of government servants and military personnel.
