Virulent Zones: Animal Disease and Global Health at China's Pandemic Epicenter (Experimental Futures)

Lyle Fearnley

4.9/5 (31472 ratings)

Description:Scientists have identified Southern China as a likely epicenter for viral pandemics, a place where new viruses emerge out of intensively farmed landscapes and human-animal interactions. In Virulent Zones, Lyle Fearnley documents the global plans to stop the next influenza pandemic at its source, accompanying virologists and veterinarians as they track lethal viruses to China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake. Revealing how scientific research and expert agency operate outside the laboratory, he shows that the search for origins is less a linear process of discovery than a constant displacement toward new questions about cause and context. As scientists strive to understand the environments from which the influenza virus emerges, the unexpected scale of duck farming systems and unusual practices such as breeding wild geese unsettle research objects, push scientific inquiry in new directions, and throw expert authority into question. Drawing on fieldwork with global health scientists, state-employed veterinarians, and poultry farmers in Beijing and at Poyang Lake, Fearnley situates the production of ecological facts about disease emergence inside the shifting cultural landscapes of agrarian change and the geopolitics of global health.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
