This book explores the complex roles of mobile, transient, and displaced populations in the worldwide spread of disease. While biomedical events cause disease, social forces such as poverty and marginalization magnify them by giving them opportunities to take hold. From Katrina to Darfur, and from influenza to AIDS, an expert panel of health and social scientists brings the social context of epidemics into clear focus.

From the foreword:
"At a point of history where the only constant is the endless and growing movement of populations, in both frequency and numbers, Population Mobility and Infectious Disease brings to the fore a long-overdue comprehensive work of prime value for students, researchers, and practitioners."
