The New Dunciad

Alexander Pope

Overview

Healing the Herds: Disease, Livestock Economies, and the Globalization of Veterinary Medicine offers a comparative approach to the intricate connections between microbes, markets, and medicine within the global economy. It utilizes fourteen case studies from various regions to illustrate how the expansion of international animal trade in the nineteenth century facilitated the spread of infectious diseases, often with severe consequences for local pastoral communities. Livestock epidemics have historically disrupted social order and prompted governmental responses, sometimes met with resistance from pastoralists.
