Book: Framing Animals as Epidemic Villains (2019)
Chapter: To Kill or Not to Kill? Negotiating Life, Death, and One Health in the Context of Dog-Mediated Rabies Control in Colonial and Independent India
Animal welfarism and the recent One Health approach—which looks at rabies as a problem of both people and dogs—have involuntarily added complexity to the century-long discussion about rabies-control theories and practices. Nowadays people in India ask themselves: Why do we have to care for dogs to eventually care for ourselves? How is it possible that our health—and life—really depends on that of street dogs? This chapter looks at how these questions have been framed and what responses they have elicited in India from the colonial period to the present day.
Book: Animals and the Shaping of Modern Medicine.
One Health and its Histories (2018)
This book is open access
Each chapter analyses an important episode in which animals changed and were changed by medicine. Ranging across the animal inhabitants of Britain’s zoos, sick sheep on Scottish farms, unproductive livestock in developing countries, and the tapeworms of California and Beirut, they illuminate the multi-species dimensions of modern medicine and its rich historical connections with biology, zoology, agriculture and veterinary medicine. The modern movement for One Health – whose history is also analyzed – is therefore revealed as just the latest attempt to improve health by working across species and disciplines.
