Recent involvement in new diseases, such as HIV/Supports and Ebola, and the resurgence of elderly diseases like tuberculosis has fostered questions about the annals of individuals infectious diseases. How does they progress? Where does they originate? What natural factors have stalled the progression of diseases or made them possible? How does a microorganism turn into a pathogen? How have infectious diseases transformed through time? What can we do to regulate their occurrence? Ethne Barnes offers answers to these questions, using information from history and remedies as well as from anthropology. She focuses on changes in the patterns of human action through cultural evolution and how they have affected the introduction of human diseases. In a very clear, exciting style, Barnes offers basic overviews of each variety of disease and their companies, from bugs and worms through rodent vectors to household domestic pets and farm animals. She devotes complete chapters to major infectious diseases such as leprosy, syphilis, smallpox, and influenza. Other chapters focus on types of diseases ("gut bugs", for example, including cholera, typhus, and salmonella). The ultimate chapters cover diseases that have made headlines in recent years, among them mad cow disease, Western Nile disease, and Lyme disease. In the traditions of Berton Roueché, Hans Zinsser, and Sherwin Nuland, Ethne Barnes right answers questions you never knew you'd about the germs that have threatened us throughout history. The e book is publicized by University of New Mexico Press.
