In recent years, there have been several infectious diseases to garner public and medical
attention for various reasons (Ebola, TB, Whooping cough, Measles, Mumps, and SARS-CoV-2 or
COVID-19 to name a few). In addition, debates about mandated immunizations are growing with
some arguing that individuals should have the right to choose whether to get vaccines. While
biomedical technology and discoveries like vaccines are extremely important in the battle
against infectious diseases, why is it also important to understand infectious diseases today
from a socio-historical perspective? For example, why do we still need to examine the role of
social determinants in relation to who is at risk for infectious diseases as well as how the organisms which cause these diseases, and the hosts and vectors behave? How does looking at
the history of other infectious diseases provide insight for contemporary efforts to deal with
infectious disease?
