Besides the introduction by the editors, the second collection includes articles on 'worm wars' by Samantha Vanderslott, 'Laboratory Hosts' by Kollmer Charles; lab networks and taxonomies of power by Claas Kirchhelle and Charlotte Kirchhelle; exceptionality and neurofever vaccine by Aro Velmet; the politics of vaccines in West Africa by Noemi Tousignant; and on medical standardization in France by Benoît Pouget.
