Sprague, H. B.: Summary of the Relation Between Occurrence of Dust and Incidence of Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) at Army Air Fields in California and Arizona, Memorandum to Army Air Force Headquarters, Oct. 1, 1945.
CHARLES E. SMITH; RODNEY R. BEARD; H. G. ROSENBERGER; E. G. WHITING. EFFECT OF SEASON AND DUST CONTROL ON COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS. J Am Med Assoc, Dec 1946; 132: 837: ... Working with different data, Major Howard B. Sprague has assembled decidedly convincing evidence of the beneficial effect of dust control on coccidioidal incidence. One of his most telling items was a comparison of the incidence of coccidioidomycosis at Davis-Monthan Field and at Maraña Army Air Base. Both fields are located near Tucson, Ariz., and have comparable soil and climate. Until 1944 the incidence of coccidioidomycosis was similar. In that year dust continued unabated at Marana and coccidioidomycosis soared in the summer and autumn. However, strict dust control was inaugurated at Davis-Monthan early in 1944. These measures were successful and were followed by almost complete elimination of hospital cases of coccidioidomycosis during the summer and autumn.
JAMA. 1970;214(9):1643: Dr. Sprague, cardiologist, dies in Boston at age 75. Howard B. Sprague, MD, prominent cardiologist and past president of the American Heart Association, died November 4 of a cerebral embolus at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. He was 75 years old....
