Caption:
The Bangladeshi man depicted in this 1975 photograph, was casting his throw net into a local river, as on-duty public health smallpox investigators were searching out, and containing any cases found inside the perimeters of nearby villages. This image was part of a series provided by former Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Officer, Stanley O. Foster, MD, MPH, and captured by Pierre Claquin, MD, BAC, who at the time was a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Smallpox Eradication Program. It was part of a photographic montage entitled, “The Story of One Smallpox Jeep”, which depicted the travails faced by the Jeep, and its occupants of public health practitioners, as they road through the Bangladesh countryside in an attempt to eradicate smallpox from the country.
