This comparative study explores the intricate connections between disease, livestock economies, and the global spread of veterinary medicine. Through fourteen case studies from various regions, it illustrates how the expansion of international animal trade in the nineteenth century facilitated the transmission of infectious diseases, often with severe consequences for local pastoral communities. The book examines how livestock epidemics challenged social structures and prompted state interventions, sometimes met with resistance from pastoralists. It also details the evolution of disease conceptualization and control, from early methods like culling and quarantine to the advent of germ theory and vaccines.
