Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in urban Nicaragua and challenging current global health approaches to animal-borne illness, Mosquito Trails tells the story of a group of community health workers who struggle to come to terms with dengue epidemics amid poverty, political change, and economic upheaval. Blending theory from medical anthropology, political ecology, and science and technology studies, Nading develops the concept of "the politics of entanglement" to describe how Nicaraguans strive to remain alive to the world around them despite global health strategies that seek to insulate them from their environments. This innovative ethnography illustrates the continued significance of local environmental histories, politics, and household dynamics to the making and unmaking of a global pandemic. 606 $aDengue 606 $aDengue viruses 607 $aNicaragua 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDengue. 615 0$aDengue viruses. 676 $a614.5/8852097285 700 $aNading$b Alexander M.$cIII,$f1979-$01055077 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464462703321 996 $aMosquito trails$92488199 997 $aUNINA
