The end of an epidemic, like #covid19, is difficult to pinpoint, because of the myriad actors involved in and affected by an epidemic operate on diverging and increasingly un-synchronised time scales. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1299…

Arthur Rose argues that many of the historiographical complications ensuing between the different ideas of the “ending” of epidemics may be resolved by assessing whether they bring “closure” or not. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1288…

Roderick Bailey explores the divergence between Anglo-American and Italian narratives about the ending of louse-borne typhus in Naples in 1943. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1299…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the name of John Snow was everywhere. This #openaccess article shows how different versions of Snow's persona came to represent basic and often conflicting conceptions of epidemiology. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1301…

To answer how epidemics like #covid19 end, one must ask (1) how particular waves of epidemics end, and (2) how the disease become eradicated. These are separate questions. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1287…

This #openaccess article suggests that historians' engagement with new biological and medical anthropological research will allow new understandings of epidemics and their endings. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1283…

Pathogens continue to circulate, even after the end of an epidemic, like #covid19. Thus, there is no “end,” just evolution of opportunistic pathogens and our ability (or not) to mitigate them. #histmed #histsci #histSTM @OSUanthro @CACHeUofL doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1300…

This article discusses a paradox in the history of tuberculosis: its eradication has been seen as imminent ever since it was defined as a condition with a necessary bacterial cause in 1882, but, to date, has failed to arrive. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1296…

This #openaccess article addresses some infectious diseases that never really “ended,” even though their morbidity, their social impact, and their public visibility have faded away: AIDS, syphilis, and measles. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1296…

This #openaccess article examines HIV/AIDS in the '80s and '90s and swine flu in 2009 in the UK as comparative “tracer epidemics” to understand the multiplicity of endings from the perspective of contemporary history of policy. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1294…

Jean Segata examines how chikungunya virus disease is epidemiologically and politically invisible in Brazil, unlike other diseases related to the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, such as Zika, dengue, and yellow fever. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1296…

This #openaccess article explores the question of how malaria “ends” in Myanmar, since malaria has been categorized both as an epidemic and as being endemic on seemingly countless occasions. #histmed #histsci #histSTM doi.org/10.1484/J.CNT.5.1294…
