OBJECTIVE: Many fundamental patterns of coinfection (multi-species infections) are
undescribed, including the relative frequency of coinfection by various pathogens …

This book explains the growing field of syndemic theory and research, a framework for the
analysis and prevention of disease interactions that addresses underlying social and …
