The internet ties people together inways unimagined a few years ago. The globalisationof health, however, remains an elusive goal, similarto the globalisation of economic well-being. InThe Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett describes anunwelcome form of globalisation: the globalisationof disease. Garrett examines the recent history ofemerging diseases such as AIDS, Ebola, Hantavirus,Rift Valley Fever, Legionnaires’ disease and others.She also explains the resurgence of familiar diseaseslike tuberculosis, cholera and pneumonia as aconsequence of the widespread and unwise use ofantibiotics. Many of the new diseases are clearlylinked to changes in land use, which bring humansinto close contacts with rodents or other animalsthat harbour viruses previously unknown tomedicine and often deadly to humans. Resurgentdiseases, by contrast, are a creation of our medicalpractices. By treating people with antibioticswithout restraint, we unknowingly select strainsthat are immune to the antibiotics and that pass ontheir resistant genes to unrelated bacteria by wayof plasmid transfer. The heroes of her book are thewomen and men on the front lines of epidemiology.Garrett makes a plea for a greater commitment fromour universities, medical schools and governmentagencies to train workers who will be capable ofrecognising new diseases and who will be able tomove seamlessly in the laboratory, the hospital andthe field in pursuit of knowledge and publichealthintervention around the world.
