A Critical Perspective on Ecological Concepts Informing Historical and Current Practices of Health Security

A new volume in the University of Pittsburgh Press Histories and Ecologies of Health series

"

Ecologies of Disease Control ultimately underscores the historical and structural implementation and limits of applying ecological thinking to disease control at the local and global scales. Collectively, the authors demonstrate that health security and the ecological framework exist within a broader historical terrain and continuity. Medical and scientific researchers cannot afford to forget that history if they truly want to prevent and control disease.
