{"product_id":"emerging-pathogens-charles-greenblatt-9780198509011","title":"Emerging Pathogens: The Archaeology, Ecology, and Evolution of Infectious Disease","description":"Many ancient diseases with a long history of afflicting mankind such as Tuberculosis and Malaria are now re-emerging. Greenblatt brings together palaeopathologists, anthropologists, molecular biologists and modern infectious disease specialists to examine this phenomenon. New techniques allow us to detect ancient pathogen DNA and other biomarkers, in effect the chemical 'signatures' of pathogens. These tools could help us develop strategies to combat modern emerging diseases. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book focuses on ancient diseases in order to bridge the gap that has for so long separated today's infectious disease specialists and the paleopathologists who describe pathology in skeletal and mummified remains. Linking these two research communities, and incorporating the views of anthropologists, medical ecologists and molecular\/evolutionary biologists, will hopefully promote a better understanding of this complex but vitally important field. A more thorough knowledge of the impact of evolutionary biology on the host-parasite relationship may even enable us to coexist with these pathogenic micro-organisms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is intended to stimulate debate and co-operation between infectious disease specialists, medical researchers, archaeologists, anthropologists and evolutionary biologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Greenblatt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198509014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198509011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 7.47w x 0.57d","brand":"Charles Greenblatt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054672441599,"sku":"9780198509011","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aee77753-329c-4af1-8c26-9e0a8ed4c23e.jpg?v=1685031313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emerging-pathogens-charles-greenblatt-9780198509011","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
