商品描述

Interdisciplinary perspectives on the science, politics, and ethics of the 2013-2015 Ebola virus disease outbreak.

The 2013-2015 outbreak of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) was a public health disaster: 28,575 infections and 11,313 deaths (as of October 2015), devastating the countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone; a slow and mismanaged international response; and sensationalistic media coverage, seized upon by politicians to justify wrongheaded policy. And yet there were also promising developments that may improve future responses to infectious disease epidemics: the UN Security Council's first involvement in a public health event; a series of promising clinical treatments and vaccines for EVD; and recognition of the need for a global public health system to deal with epidemics that cross national borders. This volume offers a range of perspectives on these and other lessons learned, with essays on the science, politics, and ethics of the Ebola outbreak.

The contributors discuss topics including the virology and management of EVD in both rich and poor nations; the spread of the disease (with an essay by a leader of Médecins Sans Frontières); racist perceptions of West Africa; mainstream and social media responses to Ebola; and the ethical issue of whether to run clinical trials of experimental treatments during an outbreak.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

對2013-2015年埃博拉病毒病疫情的科學、政治和倫理的跨學科視角。

2013-2015年的埃博拉病毒病（EVD）疫情是一場公共衛生災難：28,575例感染和11,313例死亡（截至2015年10月），對幾內亞、利比里亞和塞拉利昂造成了毀滅性的影響；國際反應緩慢且管理不善；以及媒體的煽動性報導，被政治家利用來為錯誤的政策辯護。然而，也有一些令人鼓舞的進展，可能改善未來對傳染病疫情的應對：聯合國安全理事會首次參與公共衛生事件；一系列有前景的EVD臨床治療和疫苗；以及認識到需要一個全球公共衛生系統來應對跨國界的疫情。本書提供了對這些及其他教訓的多種視角，包含有關埃博拉疫情的科學、政治和倫理的文章。

貢獻者討論的主題包括EVD在富裕和貧窮國家的病毒學和管理；疾病的傳播（包括一位無國界醫生組織領導者的文章）；對西非的種族主義看法；主流和社交媒體對埃博拉的反應；以及在疫情期間是否進行實驗性治療的臨床試驗的倫理問題。
