Cuando una enfermedad ocurre en mayor cantidad de lo esperado en una comunidad, región o estación, se considera un brote. Además del sufrimiento humano, los brotes crean pánico, interrumpen la estructura social y económica y pueden impedir el desarrollo en las comunidades afectadas. Si bien no podemos predecir exactamente cuándo o dónde comenzará la próxima epidemia o pandemia, podemos explorar y aprender de los brotes del pasado.
Por ello desde la Oxford University Press, nos dan acceso a una serie de trabajos en abierto, publicados por sus distintas revistas, para los estudiosos de la historia de los brotes epidémicos. Pero solo hasta el 31 de Marzo, hay tiempo:
