  25. SUMMARY -The formation of global empires both potentiated and was potentiated by differential mortality from epidemic and endemic disease. -Material and social explanations of the differential mortality and morbidity of similar bodies in different places--and of different bodies in similar places--were central to imperial military, economic, and administrative concerns. -Linkage of disease and health with place and peoples influenced the translocation of racialized populations within empires and the formation of early medical, sanitary, and governance structures to contain global disease threats.
