The following book review aims to comment on the book Framing Animals as Epidemic Villains edited by the anthropologist Christos Lynteris, which focuses on analyzing the histories of different non-human vectors of diseases. It is argued that the book, inscribed in the context of the emergence of COVID-19 as a pandemic phenomenon, is relevant, both in empirical and theoretical-conceptual terms, for Latin American readers interested in global public health issues and the emergence of techno-scientific knowledge associated with it.
