Speaker: Claas Kirchhelle (University of Oxford)
My presentation explores the history of 20th century typhoid control. It focuses on the impact new surveillance and medical technologies like bacteriophage-typing, vaccines, and antimicrobials had on international control campaigns; discusses the biological, political, and economic factors fragmenting control efforts outside of high income countries; and highlights the potential of new interdisciplinary studies on the biosocial dimensions of infectious disease for current research and health policy.
