Randall M Packard‘s Fevered Cities: A History of Dengue Epidemics offers a compelling and nuanced examination of dengue fever, situating this pervasive disease within the intricate fabric of urban environments and global socio-ecological transformations. Packard, Emeritus Professor of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, presents dengue as far more than a mere biomedical condition, framing it instead as a product of complex interactions among ecological, social, political, and climatic factors.
