人畜共患疾病的全球风险是政策议程上的重要议题。非洲越来越被视为热点地区，疾病可能从动物蔓延到人类。本文探讨了疾病暴露的社会动态，展示了风险如何不是泛化的，而是与职业、性别、阶级和其他社会差异维度有关。通过对塞拉利昂的拉沙热、加纳的希尼帕病毒、肯尼亚的裂谷热和津巴布韦的锥虫病的案例研究，本文提出了一个社会差异时空框架，以协助在“同一个健康”方法下理解和应对人畜共患疾病。
Global risks of zoonotic disease are high on policy agendas. Increasingly, Africa is seen as a hotspot', with likely disease spillovers from animals to humans. This paper explores the social dynamics of disease exposure, demonstrating how risks are not generalised, but are related to occupation, gender, class and other dimensions of social difference. Through case studies of Lassa Fever in Sierra Leone, Henipah virus in Ghana, Rift Valley Fever in Kenya and Trypanosomiasis in Zimbabwe, the paper proposes a social difference space-time framework to assist the understanding of and response to zoonotic diseases within a One Health' approach.
