The volume critically examines the ways in which animals have come to be framed as ?epidemic villains? since the turn of the nineteenth century. Providing epistemological and social histories of non-human epidemic blame, as well as ethnographic perspectives on its recent manifestations, the essays explore this cornerstone of modern epidemiology and public health alongside its continuing importance in today?s world. Covering diverse regions, the book argues that framing animals as spreaders and reservoirs of infectious diseases ? from plague to rabies to Ebola ? is an integral aspect not only to scientific breakthroughs but also to the ideological and biopolitical apparatus of modern medicine. As the first book to consider the impact of the image of non-human disease hosts and vectors on medicine and public health, it offers a major contribution to our understanding of human-animal interaction under the shadow of global epidemic threat. 410 0$aMedicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History 606 $aWorld history 606 $aMedicine?History 606 $aHistory 606 $aMedical anthropology 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aMedical Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12080 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aMedicine?History. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMedical anthropology. 615 14$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aMedical Anthropology. 676 $a614.43 676 $a614.56 702 $aLynteris$b Christos$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483825803321 996 $aFraming Animals as Epidemic Villains$92854872 997 $aUNINA
