Articles by and about Alexander D. Langmuir

The article by William Foege, “Alexander D. Langmuir – His Impact on Public Health,” at http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/144/Supplement_8/S11.full.pdf gives insights into the influence of the man who created the Epidemic Intelligence Service at CDC.

Langmuir was also a prolific author on the epidemiology and control of infectious and noninfectious diseases. Here are ten of his authored and co-authored articles.

Good reading.
