Abstract

Ebola is a compelling account of the recent terrible epidemic which swept through West Africa. Why did it spread; what was the international response; what is the long-term impact; what lessons can be learned for the future? This book combines the latest scientific insights with personal accounts from medical workers.

Abstract

"Ebola Virus Disease: From Origins to Outbreak covers the symptoms, treatments, origins, and major outbreaks of the Ebola virus, both past and present. It contains information on the West Saharan response to Ebola as well as highlights from the field in West Africa from Dr. Qureshi and Dr. Chughtai, helping to solve the primary question of what comes next and aiding in formulating a path forward. With a growing awareness of the devastating effects of this viral disease and an influx of topical research, this book provides the information the global community of researchers, clinicians and students need to better inform their research and studies of Ebola virus disease."--

Abstract

In 2013, the largest Ebola outbreak in history swept across West Africa, claiming thousands of lives in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea and sending the international community into panic. By 2014, experts were grimly predicting that millions would be infected within months, and a huge international control effort was mounted to contain the virus. Yet paradoxically, at this point the disease was already going into decline in Africa itself. Why did outside observers get it so wrong? Paul Richards draws on his extensive firsthand experience in Sierra Leone to argue that the international community{u2019}s alarmed response failed to take account of local expertise and common sense. Crucially, Richards shows that the humanitarian response to the disease was most effective in those areas where it supported community initiatives already in place, such as giving local people agency in terms of disposing of bodies. In turn, the international response dangerously hampered recovery when it ignored or disregarded local knowledge.

Abstract

The book Ebola is a relevant resource of knowledge about various aspects of the Ebola virus (EBOV) and the related disease. Many experts from different fields of science and from different parts of the world contributed to the creation of this book. The book contains valuable information about firsthand experience of managing Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Third World countries and offers the best practices to handle possible pandemic outbreaks of Ebola. Detailed analysis of EBOV genome is also given, with the description of EBOV pathology supported with structural information, and in addition, the various tasks and strategies for the development of an effective anti-Ebola cure are proposed.

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "A travers l'analyse d'épidémies ayant sévi au Gabon et en République du Congo, l'ouvrage développe une approche visant à «dénaturaliser» les épidémies de fièvre hémorragique à virus Ebola (FHVE). Cette étude permet de mettre en avant les facteurs spécifiques participant aux inégalités sociales temporaires et permanentes existants sur les territoires où sévit le virus Ebola, les représentations sociales qui gravitent autour de cette maladie et participent à en conditionner l'émergence et la diffusion, et les rapports de pouvoir qu'engendre l'apparition de cette maladie. Que l'on convoque la notion de risque ou que l'on inspecte les interventions humanitaires associées à la gestion des épidémies de FHVE, celles-ci sous-tendent des enjeux de pouvoir et de représentations prégnants qui participent de la géographie sociale de cette maladie. Dans le cadre d'une démarche en géographie de la santé, l'ouvrage recourt à un positionnement de géographie sociale pour comprendre, dans un premier temps, les mécanismes et les processus de l'émergence virale et de sa diffusion dans une population humaine et, dans un second temps il analyse les logiques et les formes qu'adoptent les sociétés pour faire face à la perturbation majeure que représente une flambée épidémique de FHVE. De fait, la prise en compte du contexte spécifique de l'Afrique Centrale, notamment au Gabon et en République du Congo, permet de cerner les constructions socio-historiques et politiques participant à la pérennité d'inégalités sociales et territoriales de santé, terreau propice à l'émergence de la maladie. Les processus d'émergence de la maladie et de pérennité des inégalités sociales de santé à l'oeuvre sur les territoires contribuent à une gestion parfois paradoxale des épidémies. A partir d'une analyse à l'échelon local, en réhabilitant les identités déniées des populations ayant subies ces épidémies, le livre met en évidence le processus de construction d'une situation de crise sanitaire qui loin d'être dû au seul pathogène, apparaît comme une crise majeure due à des dynamiques socio-territoriales."

Abstract

"Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue focuses on the knowledge, technology, regulation and ethics of using genetically modified mosquitoes to interrupt the transmission of important vector-borne diseases. It contains coverage of the current state of knowledge of vector-borne diseases and how they are currently controlled; various strategies for altering the genome of mosquitoes in beneficial ways; strategies to translate basic knowledge of mosquito physiology and development into novel control efforts, and the regulatory, ethical and social environment concerning these strategies. For more than five decades, the prospect of using genetically-modified mosquitoes to control vector-borne disease transmission has been a purely hypothetical scenario. We simply did not have the technology or basic knowledge to be able to do it. With the explosion of field trials and potential interventions in development, Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue provides a comprehensive overview of research in genetics, microbiology, virology, and ecology involved in the development and implementation of genetic modification programs for virus and disease control. This books is meant to provide a practical guide to researchers, regulators and the general public about how this technology actually works, how it can be improved, and what is still unknown"--
