Infectious Diseases: A Geographical Analysis
Infectious diseases have been evolving since the dawn of humankind. In Section 1.3, we noted some of the palaeopathological studies that have extended our knowledge of the occurrence of human infections back into pre-history, while recent genetic stu

Infectious Diseases: A Geographical Analysis
The history of war is replete with examples of novel diseases that have suddenly and unexpectedly erupted into human consciousness. As we noted in Section2.2, ancient Greek historians such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Diodorus Siculus provide classi

The last four decades of human history have seen the emergence of an unprecedented number of 'new' infectious diseases: the familiar roll call includes AIDS, Ebola, H5N1 influenza, hantavirus, hepatitis E, Lassa fever, legionnaires' and Lyme diseases

Infectious Diseases: A Geographical Analysis
In Chapters 4–8, we have examined a series of processes that, often working in combination, have served to precipitate the emergence and re-emergence of infectious and parasitic disease agents in the human population. In this chapter, we conclude o

As earlier chapters in this book have shown, cyclically re-emerging old plagues and newly emerging scourges are, because of their multifactorial ecology, likely to be the enduring experience of the human race. And so, in this concluding chapter, we l

A historical–geographical exploration of disease emergence is confronted by a series of fundamental questions: Which diseases have emerged? When? And where? For some high-profile diseases, such as Legionnaires’ disease, Ebola viral disease, and s

The development of models and surveillance systems to give early warning of a new or re-emerging disease is an important first step in devising control strategies to protect the public health. In this chapter, we discuss and illustrate modelling and
