摘　　要：During the late 18th and early 19th centuries,a series of conflicts erupted in the Caribbean,leading to the spread of yellow fever to North America and Europe.This yellow fever epidemic was aggravated by war,migration,trade,and other human behaviors,resulting in a decadelong transatlantic pandemic.Groups of physicians in Europe and the United States established a transatlantic network focused on epidemic prevention,to investigate the pathology,causes,and treatments of yellow fever Subsequently,some consular officers were also concerned about the yellow fever epidemic,which led to the expansion of this network.The formation and expansion of the transatlantic knowledge network profoundly demonstrated the spirit of transnationalism and promotes progress in international public health.It sets a precedent for international health cooperation.However,this network was dominated by the so-called"white elite",with European and American countries holding the knowledge hegemony,it had a clear racist and colonialism feature.
