In Virulent Zones, Lyle Fearnley documents the global plans to stop the next influenza pandemic at its source, accompanying virologists and veterinarians as they track lethal viruses to China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake. Revealing how scientific research and expert agency operate outside the laboratory, he shows that the search for origins is less a linear process of discovery than a constant displacement toward new questions about cause and context. As scientists strive to understand the environments from which the influenza virus emerges, the unexpected scale of duck farming systems and unusual practices such as breeding wild geese unsettle research objects, push scientific inquiry in new directions, and throw expert authority into question. Drawing on fieldwork with global health scientists, state-employed veterinarians, and poultry farmers in Beijing and at Poyang Lake, Fearnley situates the production of ecological facts about disease emergence inside the shifting cultural landscapes of agrarian change and the geopolitics of global health. 410 $aExperimental Futures 606 $aMedical / Public Health$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 606 $aScience / Philosophy & Social Aspects$2bisacsh 606 $aScience 615 7$aMedical / Public Health 615 7$aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social 615 7$aScience / Philosophy & Social Aspects 615 0$aScience 700 $aFearnley$b Lyle$0989138 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645963303321 996 $aVirulent zones$92262163 997 $aUNINA
