      abstract = {"Malaria is one of the oldest recorded diseases in human  history, and its 10,000-year relationship to primates can  teach us why it will be one of the most serious threats to  humanity in the 21st century. In this pathbreaking book  Loretta Cormier integrates a wide range of data from  molecular biology, ethnoprimatology, epidemiology, ecology,  anthropology, and other fields to reveal the intimate  relationships between culture and environment that shape  the trajectory of a parasite. She argues against the  entrenched distinction between human and non-human  malarias, using ethnoprimatology to develop a new  understanding of cross-species exchange. She also shows how  current human-environment interactions, including  deforestation and development, create the potential for new  forms of malaria to threaten human populations. This book  is a model of interdisciplinary integration that will be  essential reading in fields from anthropology and biology  to public health"--},
