      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>Pests, parasites and pathogenic agents have exerted a notable influence on the process of economic development of pre-industrial Europe, in view of their influence on the health, longevity and reproduction of human beings, plants and animals. On each occasion man has reacted to biological uncertainty with responses that were public or private, formal or informal   and differed in both efficacy and cost. Success has always been partial, and dependent on experience, knowledge and the investment of economic resources.  
These reciprocal influences have never been allocated an appropriate or convincing place in the institutional model or those of Smith, Malthus, Ricardo or Marx, typically exploited to describe and explain the flux and reflux of the economic development of pre-industrial Europe.
In these proceedings of Study Week promoted by the Fondazione Datini, the leading experts in the sector have undertaken to analyse, exemplify and discuss the precise nature of the complex interactions between economic and biological processes and agents. Adopying a stimulating, innovative and interdisciplinary approach, they appraise the degree to which such processes acted in reciprocal independence, whether there was a significant co-evolution and what prospects there are for developing explanatory models that better grasp the essentially bilateral nature of such interactions.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Animali infestanti, parassiti e agenti patogeni hanno esercitato un'influenza notevole sul procedere dello sviluppo economico dell'Europa pre-industriale, attraverso i loro effetti su salute, longevità e riproduzione di esseri umani, piante e animali. All'incertezza biologica, l'uomo ha reagito volta a volta con risposte pubbliche o private, formali o informali, e diverse tanto nell'efficacia quanto nel costo. Il successo è sempre stato parziale e dipendente dall'esperienza, dalla conoscenza e dall'investimento di risorse economiche. 
Tali reciproche influenze non hanno mai trovato una sistemazione idonea o convincente nei modelli smithiano, malthusiano, ricardiano, marxista e istituzionale, tipicamente utilizzati per descrivere e spiegare il flusso e riflusso dello sviluppo economico pre-industriale europeo.
In questo volume degli atti della Settimana di studi promossa dalla Fondazione Datini i maggiori esperti del settore sono impegnati ad analizzare, esemplificare e discutere l'esatta natura delle complesse interazioni tra processi e agenti economici e biologici; con un approccio stimolante, innovativo e interdisciplinare, esaminano la misura in cui tali processi abbiano agito in reciproca indipendenza, se vi sia stata una co-evoluzione significativa e quali siano le prospettive per sviluppare modelli esplicativi che meglio accolgano la natura essenzialmente bilaterale di tali interazioni.
