• Examines the risks of epidemic disease posed by the modern era of accelerated global trade. It also addresses some of the potential benefits the same globalization can bring to epidemic control through surveillance, diagnostics, treatment, and investigation. The work also attempts to demythologize some of the scare stories associated with global trade and puts them into their proper scientific context.
