Medical Anthropology

Medical Anthropology

Choose one (1) of the following diseases: Bubonic Plague, Smallpox, SARS, Polio, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, or H1N1 (if you have another disease you want to write about please send me an e-mail for permission). Explain in detail, the etiology and epidemiology of the disease and trace the history of how it affected the human population for the time period in which it was prevalent.

Medical Anthropology

You also need to include a detailed discussion of how the disease fits into either the ecological/evolutionary model of disease, or the political economy model of disease. Validate this discussion with sources. What were the attempted medical and social interventions and preventions during that time period? What specific contributions would a medical anthropologist be able to contribute to the understanding of this disease?
