Socio-Cultural Dimensions of Emerging Infectious Diseases in Africa: An Indigenous Response to Deadly Epidemics
暫譯: 非洲新興傳染病的社會文化面向：對致命疫情的本土回應

本卷探討與非洲新興傳染病相關的最重要社會文化、政治、經濟和政策議題。該卷涵蓋了全球新興病原體治療聯盟（Global Emerging Pathogens Treatment Consortium, GET）的工作；它考察了非洲科學教育和溝通的挑戰、全球健康以及疫情和流行病的治理等問題。它超越了埃博拉、SARS 和茲卡等威脅，考慮社區如何努力控制這些及其他致命病原體的方式。各章節提供了從非洲視角更好地理解全球健康問題的機會，幫助讀者釐清為何某些應對措施有效而其他則無效。

總體而言，本卷捕捉了與非洲及全球健康相關的重要主題的最新狀態、科學、準備和演變。它在醫學科學、生物醫學研究、研究倫理、法規與治理、科學與健康溝通、社會科學等多個學科中具有廣泛的吸引力，對一般讀者也有興趣。
