A leading microbiologist objectively assesses the threat of infectious diseasesóboth novel and ""classic"".
Today, the threat from infectious disease is growing. Industrial nations are shielded by wealth and technology from the infections that assault poor nations.

Are we likely to succumb to some new plague in the near future, and suffer another major population collapse?
