Get It Now The Ten-Thousand Year Fever: Rethinking Human And Wild-Primate Malarias (New Frontiers In Historical Ecology) By Loretta A. Cormier Presented As Digital Format

Malaria is one of the oldest recorded diseases in human history, and its,year relationship to primates can teach us why it will be one of the most serious threats to humanity in thest century.
In this pathbreaking book Loretta Cormier integrates a wide range of data from molecular biology, ethnoprimatology, epidemiology, ecology, anthropology, and other fields to reveal the intimate relationships between culture and environment that shape the trajectory of a parasite.
She argues against the entrenched distinction between human and nonhuman malarias, using ethnoprimatology to develop a new understanding of crossspecies exchange, She also shows how current humanenvironment interactions, including deforestation and development, create the potential for new forms of malaria to threaten human populations, This book is a model of interdisciplinary integration that will be essential reading in fields from anthropology and biology to public health, .
