From SARS to avian influenza, Ebola virus and MERS-CoV, infectious diseases
have received increasing attention in recent decades from scientists, risk
managers, the media and the general public. What explains the constant
emergence of infectious diseases? What are the related challenges?

In five chapters, experts from different scientific fields analyse the
ecological, social, institutional and political dynamics associated with
emerging infectious diseases. This book discusses how the concepts, scientific
results and action plans of international or governmental organizations are
constructed and coordinated.

In clear straightforward language, this book explores the continuities and
discontinuities that occur with emerging infectious diseases, both in terms of
collective action and in our relationship to the biological world.

This book — coordinated by Serge Morand (Ecologist) and Muriel Figuié
(Sociologist), and prefaced by Frédéric Keck (Anthropologist) — includes
contributions from Claude Gilbert and Nathalie Brender (Political Scientists),
François Roger (Veterinary Epidemiologist) and Patrick Zylberman (Health
Historian).
