Anthropological contributions to the study of infectious disease
and to the study of actual infectious disease eradication
programmes have rarely been collected in one volume. In the era of
AIDS and the global resurgance of infectious diseases such as
tuberculosis and malaria, there is widespread interest and concern
about the cultural, ecological and political factors that are
directly related to the increased prevalence of infectious disease.
In this book, the authors have assembled the growing scholarship in
one volume. Chapters explore the coevolution of genes and cultural
traits; the cultural construction of 'disease' and how these models
influence health-seeking behaviour; cultural adaptive strategies to
infectious disease problems; the ways in which ethnography sheds
light on epidemiological patterns of infectious disease; the
practical and ethical dilemmas that anthropologists face by
participating in infectious disease programmes; and the political
ecology of infectious disease.
