Compiled by an international team of subject authors, this book includes two themed parts. Readers are first introduced into history naming, former, present and future routes of the Silk Road, representing the longest trade way and culture diffuser in the world. The second part contains the main book focus and addresses medical research as well as individual diseases and parasite groups from the region in detail. By drawing an arc between the past and present disease situation, the authors trace how parasites and vectors spread around the globe, and what impact infectious diseases had and will have upon human civilizations. Through its interdisciplinary character this book will be enjoyed by interested readers from the fields of parasitology and palaeoparasitology, medical sciences and public health, as well as cultural history. 410 0$aParasitology Research Monographs,$x2192-368X ;$v17 606 $aParasitology 606 $aDiseases 606 $aPaleoecology 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aPublic health 606 $aParasitology 606 $aDiseases 606 $aPaleoecology 606 $aCultural History 606 $aPublic Health 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aDiseases. 615 0$aPaleoecology. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aDiseases. 615 24$aPaleoecology. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a616.90958 701 $aMehlhorn$b Heinz$0768686 701 $aWu$b Xiaoying 701 $aWu$b Zhongdao$f1962-$01433105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746285203321 996 $aInfectious diseases along the Silk Roads$93578415 997 $aUNINA
