Big Farms Make Big Flu
Author: Rob WallacePublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1583675914
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
The first collection to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics, and the nature of science together Thanks to breakthroughs in production and food science, agribusiness has been able to devise new ways to grow more food and get it more places more quickly. There is no shortage of news items on hundreds of thousands of hybrid poultry—each animal genetically identical to the next—packed together in megabarns, grown out in a matter of months, then slaughtered, processed and shipped to the other side of the globe. Less well known are the deadly pathogens mutating in, and emerging out of, these specialized agro-environments. In fact, many of the most dangerous new diseases in humans can be traced back to such food systems, among them Campylobacter, Nipah virus, Q fever, hepatitis E, and a variety of novel influenza variants. Agribusiness has known for decades that packing thousands of birds or livestock together results in a monoculture that selects for such disease. But market economics doesn't punish the companies for growing Big Flu—it punishes animals, the environment, consumers, and contract farmers. Alongside growing profits, diseases are permitted to emerge, evolve, and spread with little check. “That is,” writes evolutionary biologist Rob Wallace, “it pays to produce a pathogen that could kill a billion people.” In Big Farms Make Big Flu, a collection of dispatches by turns harrowing and thought-provoking, Wallace tracks the ways influenza and other pathogens emerge from an agriculture controlled by multinational corporations. Wallace details, with a precise and radical wit, the latest in the science of agricultural epidemiology, while at the same time juxtaposing ghastly phenomena such as attempts at producing featherless chickens, microbial time travel, and neoliberal Ebola. Wallace also offers sensible alternatives to lethal agribusiness. Some, such as farming cooperatives, integrated pathogen management, and mixed crop-livestock systems, are already in practice off the agribusiness grid. While many books cover facets of food or outbreaks, Wallace's collection appears the first to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics and the nature of science together. Big Farms Make Big Flu integrates the political economies of disease and science to derive a new understanding of the evolution of infections. Highly capitalized agriculture may be farming pathogens as much as chickens or corn.
Pathology of Emerging Infections 2
Author: Ann Marie NelsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
This second volume in the series Pathology of Emerging Infections covers the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, pathogenesis, pathology, treatment, and prevention of 18 additional emerging infections. With an emphasis on pathology and pathophysiology, Pathology of Emerging Infections 2 examines the causes of and dramatic changes in infectious diseases, including veterinary and other zoonotic diseases. The authors, internationally known experts in the field, cover many of the diseases that are not found in the standard texts. The volume is enhanced with extensive colour photographs of histology and pathology. Pathology of Emerging Infections 2 illustrates the value of pathology in diagnosing emerging diseases and allows readers to better perform pathologic differential diagnoses.
