More people were killed by smallpox during the twentieth century--over 300 million--than by all of the wars of that period combined. In 1918 and 1919, influenza virus claimed over 50 million lives. A century later, influenza is poised to return, ongoing plagues of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis infect millions, and Ebola, Zika, and West Nile viruses cause new concern and panic.The overlapping histories of humans and viruses are ancient. Earliest cities became both the cradle of civilization and breeding grounds for the first viral epidemics. This overlap is the focus of virologist/immunologist Michael Oldstone in Viruses, Plagues and History. Oldstone explains principles of viruses and epidemics while recounting stories of viruses and their impact on human history. This fully updated second edition includes engrossing new chapters on hepatitis, Zika, and contemporary threats such as the possible return of a catastrophic influenza, and the impact of fear of autism on vaccination efforts. This is a fascinating panorama of humankind's longstanding conflict with unseen viral enemies, both human successes--such as control of poliomyelitis, measles, smallpox and yellow fever, and continued dangers--such as HIV and Ebola. Impeccably researched and accessibly written, Viruses, Plagues and History will fascinate all with an interest in how viral illnesses alter the course of human history.

With the new edition adding a section on COVID-19 this is something people really need to read!Were you aware that the main reason that the US capital was moved from its original location in Philadelphia, PA was an epidemic of yellow fever (in fact it was strongly recommended at the time that Philadelphia be completely abandoned forever as being "built on land unfit for any human habitation")? And that the main reason that Napoleon sold the Louisiana Purchase to the US at such a low price was endemic yellow fever throughout the Caribbean islands and New Orleans? Yellow fever was originally brought to the Americas by the slave trade and was also responsible for the later explosive expansion of the slave trade as "black Africans did not get as sick as white Europeans when they got the fever and could often continue working".Each viral disease is covered in detail as well as its influences on historical events (both well known and little known).
