Dengue fever is the world’s most prevalent mosquito-borne illness, but Alex Nading argues that people in dengue-endemic communities do not always view humans and mosquitoes as mortal enemies. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in urban Nicaragua and challenging current global health approaches to animal-borne illness, Mosquito Trails tells the story of a group of community health workers who struggle to come to terms with dengue epidemics amid poverty, political change, and economic upheaval. Blending theory from medical anthropology, political ecology, and science and technology studies, Nading develops the concept of “the politics of entanglement” to describe how Nicaraguans strive to remain alive to the world around them despite global health strategies that seek to insulate them from their environments. This innovative ethnography illustrates the continued significance of local environmental histories, politics, and household dynamics to the making and unmaking of a global pandemic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent body of work by Nading
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2016

I do not know why this book only has one review, so I thought it imperative that I write my own. This is an excellent body of work by Nading, and it is especially topical to my own research of infectious diseases spread by mosquito vectors. I enjoyed how his research is presented especially in its discussion of the role of global temperature averages rising and their influence on the spread of potential vector locations as well as structural factors at play. Always present but never at the focus of his own writing, Nading's Mosquito Trails is an excellent source of information without being bogged down in heavy description and is quite the enjoyable read as well. I highly recommend it for any researcher wanting to see how the lives of mosquitoes and people are intricately entangled, and what that means for health policy.
