A fascinating and highly relevant journey into the world of viruses, taking you on a journey to discover what they really are, what they do in nature, and the role they have played in evolution on Earth and in human history. Dr Frank Ryan addresses these and other questions by taking a deep dive into a range of diseases caused by viruses. He begins with the common cold, the familiar measles, chickenpox, herpes, mumps, and rubella, and then dives into the details of less common diseases such as rabies, mumps, Ebola, and even virus-induced cancers. Through this book, the reader will learn about the behaviour of viruses and the reasons why viruses affect humanity. The author explains how viruses have evolved in parallel with us and helped us become who we are today.
