A comprehensive and richly illustrated introduction to the world of viruses As parasites that are often hundreds of times smaller than bacteria, viruses exist in and on everything, everywhere. Rapidly evolving, they are highly opportunistic and relentlessly efficient. While some viruses are obviously agents of disease, as the COVID-19 pandemic has reminded the world only too well, others can be beneficial, helping to protect their hosts from other microbes, or allowing hosts to function in otherwise impossible ways. In Viruses, virus expert and author Marilyn Roossinck presents a comprehensive and richly illustrated introduction to viruses that reveals their true nature. Using lively text, clear graphics, and beautiful imagery, Viruses examines all the aspects of viruses that are essential for understanding them—their diversity, behaviors, life cycles, and much more. Written in a nontechnical and easy-to-follow style, the book covers what viruses are and where they come from; how they transmit and evolve; the battle between viruses and hosts, including immunity and vaccination; viruses that are good for us; the critical role viruses play in the balance of earth’s ecosystems; what makes a virus—including COVID-19 and influenza—become pandemic in plants or animals; and the cutting-edge research that is discovering thousands of new viruses. Each chapter concludes with stunningly illustrated profiles that highlight key viruses. In a world where understanding viruses is more important than ever, Viruses offers a rich and inviting introduction to organisms that, for all the harm they can do, are also essential for the health of animals, plants, and the world we share.

This is a Sci-Fi thriller that you won't be able to put down! 2020 started off full of promise with a new year and a new decade. And then the world changed. The economy collapsed, healthcare systems were overrun and governments were exposed as woefully ill-prepared. It was the perfect storm. Seemingly overnight, daily life stopped. The COVID-19 global pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, created a ripple effect that was felt around the globe. But science would save the day. Peg Araro, PhD, an epidemiologist at Virubio, takes readers on an intense and thrilling ride in her quest to find a cure. Steeped in science and anchored by actual events, this SciFi thriller demonstrates the power of “we.” Join Peg and her collaborators on a journey fraught with peril, suspense and intrigue.

"[McCormick has] been face-to-face with Ebola in Africa.... He... worked for days inside a mud hut that was smeared with Ebola blood, on his knees among people who were crashing and bleeding out." —Richard Preston, The Hot Zone Now with a new foreword by the authors about the novel Coronavirus pandemic. Sublimely equipped to survive, to propagate, to conquer, the virus is neither really alive nor really dead. Its dimensions are measured in molecules. It attacks by dismantling its human targets cell by cell. An ancient adversary, resident on this earth long before our evolutionary ancestors arrived, the virus is without conscience or compassion, without mind. It enjoys the advantages of countless numbers and infinite time. It is a being almost too simple to understand and too basic to outwit. We are locked in a war with the virus. Each battle kills some of us. The battles have many names: Ebola, Lassa fever, Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, AIDS . . . Dr. Joseph McCormick and Dr. Susan Fischer-Hoch have met them all; and they have fought them all. Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC is their story. It is an intense, personal account of more than a quarter of a century on the front lines—in the ultra high-tech "hot zone" lab that McCormick was instrumental in creating at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, as well as in the most primitive places on the planet, where the local climate, terrain, and politics can kill as easily as any disease. In the villages of Zaire and Sudan, the ghettoes and rain forest of Brazil, and the nomadic settlements of northern Pakistan, the cutting edge of science meets the deadly universe of viral disease. The elite corps of virus hunters who dare to penetrate these realms combine the unquenchable curiosity and raw guts of intrepid explorers with the training of top-level scientists, the hunch-playing passion of master sleuths, and the compassion of truly great physicians. Told in intimate detail by two of the world's best-known virologists—colleagues, collaborators, husband and wife— Level 4 is a journey across the world and into many strange new worlds: from the seductive beauty of equatorial Africa—a limitless reservoir of infection—to the confines of the all-but-invisible field of the electron microscope. While other books have offered hot zones, sick monkeys, and grim statistics, Level 4 brings home from the world of the virus the human stories of those who lived, and those who died.

A New York Times Notable Book The man who led the battle against Ebola in The Hot Zone teams up with the bestselling co-author of Mind Hunter to chronicle his extraordinary thirty-year career fighting deadly viruses. For three decades, Dr. C. J. Peters was on the front lines of our biological battle against “hot” viruses around the world. In the course of that career, he learned countless lessons about our interspecies turf wars with infectious agents. Called in to contain an outbreak of deadly hemorrhagic fever in Bolivia, he confronted the despair of trying to save a colleague who accidentally infected himself with an errant scalpel. Working in Level 4 labs on the Machupo and Ebola viruses, he saw time and again why expensive high-tech biohazard containment equipment is only as safe as the people who use it. Because of new, emerging viruses, and the return of old, “vanquished” ones for which vaccines do not exist, there remains a very real danger of a new epidemic that could, without proper surveillance and early intervention, spread worldwide virtually overnight. And the possibility of foreign countries or terrorist groups using deadly airborne viruses—the poor man’s nuclear arsenal—looms larger than ever. High-octane science writing at its best and most revealing, Virus Hunter is a thrilling first-person account of what it is like to be a warrior in the Hot Zone.

For all our hubris, humans can be felled rapidly by an invisible enemy - viruses. All around us are minute entities that can damage and kill: the millions of viruses that pervade the natural world. Our bodies harbour many that we have long tolerated, but a new one, that jumps into humans from another species, can be lethal - as we have seen most recently with the virus responsible for COVID-19. But what are viruses, how do they cause disease, and how can we fight them? In Viruses: The Invisible Enemy, a brand new edition of her classic work, virologist Dorothy Crawford explores these questions. She takes the reader on a journey through the past to show how, as the human race evolved from hunter gatherer to farmer to our present urban, industrialised society, viruses have taken advantage of each lifestyle change to promote their own survival. We have acquired many new viruses along the way, some spreading globally and causing killer diseases. But now, in the 21st century, as humans increasingly encroach into and exploit the natural world, the rate of emergence of novel viruses is accelerating. Already we've had a flu pandemic, large epidemics from SARS, Ebola and Zika viruses, and most devastating of all, SARS-CoV-2, which swept around the world in 2020-21, causing the COVID-19 pandemic. The response of scientists has been rapid, producing vaccines in record time. But we can expect more such challenges in the future. This book discusses why and how SARS-CoV-2 and other killer viruses emerged, and how we can win the battle against such an enemy.
