      abstract = {This volume examines the most important socio-cultural,  political, economic, and policy issues related to emerging  infectious diseases in Africa. The volume covers the work  of the Global Emerging Pathogens Treatment Consortium  (GET); it looks at the challenges of science education and  communication in Africa, the global health and governance  of pandemics and epidemics, and more. It looks beyond such  threats as Ebola, SARS, and Zika to consider the ways  communities have sought to contain these and other deadly  pathogens. The chapters provide a better understanding of a  global health problem from an African perspective, which  help clarify to readers why some responses have worked  while others have not.Overall, the volume captures the  state of the art, science, preparedness, and evolution of a  topic important to the health of Africa and the world. It  has a broad appeal across disciplines, from medical science  and biomedical research, through research ethics,  regulation and governance, science and health  communication, social sciences, and is also of interest to  general readers.},
