Science Now

Increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of today's greatest threats to public health. Yet a possible solution has emerged from a surprising source. Phage therapy deploys viruses called bacteriophages, "bacteria eaters," to treat bacterial infections. What concerns--both biological and social--arise from using viruses in this way? What does phage therapy reveal about the links between humans and microbes? In Our Viral Futures, Charlotte Brives examines the development and implications of this therapy, providing new ways to understand our interconnections with the microbial world. Considering patients seeking treatment for chronic infections, the establishment of new regulatory frameworks, and the complex processes of laboratory research and clinical trials, she highlights the complexity and variety of the relationships among humans, phages, and bacteria. Brives places phage therapy in the context of the widespread use of antibiotics under industrial capitalism, which has deployed these treatments in order to enable ecologically devastating forms of mass production and consumption. She argues that the connections between human societies and microbial communities defy the usual categories through which science and medicine understand the world, giving rise to new moral and political questions. Interdisciplinary and nuanced, Our Viral Futures poses a provocative challenge: Instead of continuing to assert that we can control and master microbes, we must learn to coexist with them.

Anti-Microbial Drug Resistance

"Delves into the relationship between war and disease, focusing on Colombian armed conflict and the skin disease known as cutaneous leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is transmitted through the bite of female sandflies. The most common manifestation, cutaneous leishmaniasis, is neither deadly nor contagious: it affects the skin by producing lesions of varying size and shape. In Colombia, the insect vector of the disease is native to the same forested environments that have served as the main stage for one of the longest and most violent civil wars in Latin American history. As a result, the populations most affected by leishmaniasis in Colombia are members of the state army and non-state armed groups. Lina Pinto-Garcâia explores how leishmaniasis and the armed conflict are inextricably connected and mutually reinforcing. Her title, Maraäna, means "tangle" in Spanish but is also commonly used in Colombia to name the entangled greenery, braided lianas, and dense foliage that characterize the tropical forests where leishmaniasis typically occurs. Pinto-Garcâia argues that leishmaniasis and the war are not merely linked, but enmaraänadas to each other through narratives, technologies, and practices produced by the state, medicine, biomedical research, and the armed conflict itself. She also uses the concept of desenmaraänados (disentangled) to discuss how other attachments between leishmaniasis and society could be formed through different scientific programs, technological designs, healthcare practices, regulations, and social and cultural processes capable of challenging violence, suffering, and inequality. All told, Maraäna is a passionate study of how war has shaped the production of scientific knowledge about leishmaniasis and access to its treatments in Colombia"--

The Living Medicine

What Everyone Needs To Know®

A lively guide to the fast-moving and fascinating debates on what is going on with the trillions of microorganisms that live on and around us, and what we need to know to keep ourselves healthy. There are microbiomes--communities of microbes--everywhere we can imagine: in every environment, on every surface, and in every creature, including us. They are an inevitable, if largely invisible, part of life, and understanding how our microbiome works can improve our health. In The Microbiome: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Dr. Berenice Langdon provides a foundational understanding of the microbiome and what it does--and does not--do. Tracing the history of microbiome research, up to the most recent scientific advancements, she dispels common misunderstandings to better acquaint readers with the form and function of the human body's microbial community. In an accessible style, Dr. Langdon covers the microbiomes of the human body--from the skin to the gut-brain axis, the growing microbiome industry, the creation of the microbiome on newborns, the effects of microbiome changes, and even the possibilities for microbiome evolution into the future. In a fast-moving and oft-overhyped area of research, The Microbiome is a timely and significant contribution to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series.

Authoritative, up-to-date guide to current protocols surrounding the identification and control of infectious diseases Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook provides practical advice for specific situations and the important background knowledge that underlies communicable disease control activities. The book, designed to be concise and accessible, explains topics ranging from basic principles to recent changes and innovations in health protection practice. Major syndromes and individual infections are insightfully addressed, as well as an outline of the World Health Organization's international health regulations and the organizational arrangements in place in all European Union nations. This Fifth Edition has been thoroughly revised to capture new developments in the area, especially those following the COVID-19 pandemic. Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook includes information on: <ul> <li>Meningitis and meningism, gastrointestinal infection, community acquired pneumonia, rash in pregnancy, rash and fever in children, and illness in returning travelers</li> <li>Amoebic dysentery, anthrax, botulism, chickenpox and shingles, chlamydia trachomatis, and cholera</li> <li>Managing incidents and outbreaks, community infection control, hospital infection control, antimicrobial stewardship, and risks to and from healthcare workers</li> <li>Prevention of blood-borne infections, migrant and refugee health, managing acute chemical and radiation incidents, and global health security</li> </ul> Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook is an essential reference for public health professionals working in communicable disease control and health protection, public health physicians, epidemiologists, public health nurses, infection control nurses, environmental health officers, microbiologists, policy makers, and general practitioners.

Developments in Emerging and Existing Infectious Diseases

Emerging Infectious Diseases: Clinical Case Studies, Second Edition, Volume Three, is an easy-to-use, extraordinarily informative text that belongs on every clinician's shelf. The book elegantly synthesizes the clinical, microbiologic and epidemiologic information that is critical for patient diagnosis and for use in recognizing and mitigating outbreaks. The book presents cases with discussions that fill in the gaps on critical topics. Discussions on pathogenesis provide detailed microbiological information on each infection in a "teaching? style, thus making this resource interesting for a very broad audience.
