Expanding our understanding of contagion beyond the typical notions
of infection and pandemics, this book widens the field to include
the concept of biosocial epidemics. The chapters propose varied and
detailed answers to questions about epidemics and their contagious
potential for specific infections and non-infectious conditions.
Together they explore how inseparable social and biological
processes configure co-existing influences, which create epidemics,
and in doing so stress the role of social inequality in these
processes. The authors compellingly show that epidemics do not
spread evenly in populations or through simple coincidental
biological contagion: they are biosocially structured and
selective, and happen under specific economic, political and
environmental conditions. This volume illustrates that an
understanding of biosocial factors is vital for ensuring effective
strategies for the containment of epidemics.
