Product details

The deadly leap from animals to humans. Life-threatening infectious diseases such as AIDS, Ebola, viral influenza, SARS, and currently Covid-19 can spread rapidly across large areas due to globalization, triggering epidemics or even pandemics. They all share one thing in common: the pathogens jumped from animals to humans – the so-called spillover. In a captivating yet unsettling book, award-winning science author David Quammen describes how and where viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens are transmitted to humans. He follows researchers in their quest to trace the origins of these outbreaks, including visits to gorillas in the Congo, observing their work with bats in China and monkeys in Bangladesh, and explains why the risk of spillover has increased. A science thriller about the rising threat of pandemics in a globalized world.
