In a new era of global virology that requires novel methodologies to improve the comprehension of viruses and viral phenomena, Viral Behaviors explores the cultural, material, and artistic significance of viral agents. Across a rich variety of case studies stemming from different areas of interest-covering literature, the graphic arts and scientific visualization, as well as performance, installation and bioart-this book asks whether embracing the complexity of viruses, rather than obsessively measuring, dissecting, or precisely mapping their parts and manifestations, may provide new methodological directions in the intersection of scientific thinking and artistic practice. The book examines the struggles and successes of science and technology to tame the elusive nature and behavior of viruses, and the potential of art-based and cross-disciplinary collaborations to better communicate their complex making and intense entanglement with the world at large. Combining perspectives from art, philosophy, science and technology, it places biological and informational viruses alongside each other, revealing that, while the two types of agents affect the world in very different ways, their histories and manifestations contain surprising similarities that speak to a cultural continuum. Viral Behaviors unravels the extraordinary mobility of viruses across disciplines, and their intersection with all aspects of culture, rather than their import within one specific disciplinary realm. It shows how the numerous attempts by artists, scientists and professionals to tackle, represent and appropriate viruses, and their intricate dynamism, can lead to new nuanced and sophisticated understandings of these substances and their related phenomena, and reveals the contribution of non-measurable or non-traditional practices in their construction and dissemination.

"Chan and Ridley write with an urgency...that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature." (New York Times Book Review) Understanding how Covid-19 started is crucial for the future of humankind. Viral is the most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of the virus. A new virus descended on the human species in 2019 wreaking unprecedented havoc. Finding out where it came from and how it first jumped into people is an urgent priority, but early expectations that this would prove an easy question to answer have been dashed. Nearly two years into the pandemic, the crucial mystery of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not only unresolved but has deepened. In this uniquely insightful book, a scientist and a writer join forces to try to get to the bottom of how a virus whose closest relations live in bats in subtropical southern China somehow managed to begin spreading among people more than 1,500 kilometres away in the city of Wuhan. They grapple with the baffling fact that the virus left none of the expected traces that such outbreaks usually create: no infected market animals or wildlife, no chains of early cases in travellers to the city, no smouldering epidemic in a rural area, no rapid adaptation of the virus to its new host—human beings. To try to solve this pressing mystery, Viral delves deep into the events of 2019 leading up to 2021, the details of what went on in animal markets and virology laboratories, the records and data hidden from sight within archived Chinese theses and websites, and the clues that can be coaxed from the very text of the virus’s own genetic code. The result is a gripping detective story that takes the reader deeper and deeper into a metaphorical cave of mystery. One by one the authors explore promising tunnels only to show that they are blind alleys, until, miles beneath the surface, they find themselves tantalisingly close to a shaft that leads to the light.

'Wolfe has an important story to tell and as a virologist at the forefront of pandemic forecasting, he is the perfect person to tell it' Guardian In The Viral Storm award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe - known as 'the Indiana Jones of virus hunters' for his work in jungles and rain forests across the world - shows why we are so vulnerable to a global pandemic. The Viral Storm examines how viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu have almost wiped us out in the past - and may do so in the future. It explores why modern life makes us so at risk to global pandemics, and what new technologies can do to prevent them. Wolfe's provocative vision may leave you feeling distinctly uncomfortable - but it will reveal exactly what it is we are up against. 'An excellent piece of scientific gothic, rich in descriptions of the threat we face from emerging viruses' Nature 'Part autobiography, part warning ... enthralling' BBC Focus 'Quietly terrifying ... It's hard not to feel a bit feverish at times while reading' Boston Globe 'The plague-ridden future imagined by this authoritative, measured, yet gripping book is extremely alarming' Sunday Times 'Nathan Wolfe is saving the world from near-inevitable pandemic ... a kick-ass book' Mary Roach, author of Stiff 'The world's most prominent virus hunter' New Yorker 'A good place to start preparing for what might come' New Humanist

Mit dem Herbst beginnt auch jedes Jahr die Erkältungssaison: Husten, Schnupfen, ein kratzender Hals, ausgelöst in der Regel durch verschiedene virale Erreger. Und auch wenn der oft ebenfalls verwendete Begriff "grippaler Infekt" etwas anderes vermuten lässt – mit der echten Grippe haben diese Beschwerden nichts zu tun. Dieses Kompakt erklärt nicht nur, was man gegen Erkältungen tun kann, sondern es wirft auch einen Blick auf das Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 und erläutert, was bei ihm sowie den ebenfalls dazugehörenden Sars- und Mers-Viren anders ist als bei ihren harmlosen Cousins. Weitere Themen: Macht Nasenspray süchtig? Warum Männer stärker am Schnupfen leiden. Hilft die richtige Ernährung bei Erkältung?

Ein ansteckendes Lesevergnügen : die spannende Geschichte der Viren und ihrer Erforschung Was ist ein Virus? Sind Viren lebendig? Und wie bekämpft man sie am besten? Der Weg zu Erkenntnissen über die merkwürdige Natur der Viren war steinig. Lange standen Mediziner den unsichtbaren Krankheitserregern machtlos gegenüber. Doch neue Forschungsergebnisse in der Virologie erzielten schließlich Erfolge: die Ausrottung der Kinderlähmung durch den Polio-Impfstoff, die Bekämpfung des AIDS-Virus und die Erfindung der PCR-Diagnostik. In seinem neuen Buch schildert der vielfach ausgezeichnete Wissenschaftsautor Matthias Eckoldt die Geschichte tödlicher Viren und wie man ihnen auf die Spur kam. - Auf der Suche nach Krankheitserregern: von der spontanen Urzeugung über stinkende Miasmen bis zu Mikroorganismen - Fragwürdige Experimente, Menschenversuche und zermürbende Misserfolge: der Kampf gegen Infektionskrankheiten - Tödliche Seuchen in der Geschichte: von Pest und Pocken, Gelbfieber, Tollwut und der Spanischen Grippe - Die Geschichte der Viren: kenntnisreich und allgemeinverständlich erzählt Die Pandemien des 21. Jahrhunderts: Was kommt nach COVID-19? Moderne Analyseverfahren und die medizinische Biotechnologie bieten uns Chancen im Kampf gegen neue Krankheitserreger und helfen bei der Suche nach Impfstoffen. Und das ist auch dringend nötig, wie Matthias Eckoldt klarmacht. Denn die WHO-Liste der pandemieträchtigen Erreger ist lang. Die Lebensweise der Menschen begünstigt die Entstehung und Ausbreitung weiterer tödlicher Epidemien. Neben SARS, MERS, der Schweinegrippe und diversen Coronaviren bereiten auch Viren-Mutationen den Medizinern Sorge. So ist auch in Zukunft mit gefährlichen Krankheitsausbrüchen zu rechnen. Ein hochspannendes Wissenschaftsbuch über die Sternstunden der Medizin und zukünftige Risiken – fundiert recherchiert und auf den Punkt gebracht!

The past year has been one of viral panic--panic about viruses, that is. Through headlines, public health warnings, and at least one homemade hazmat suit, we were reminded of the powerful force of viruses. They are the smallest living things known to science, yet they can hold the entire planet in their sway. A Planet of Viruses is Carl Zimmer's eye-opening look at the hidden world of viruses. Zimmer, the popular science writer and author of National Geographic's award-winning blog The Loom, has updated this edition to include the stories of new outbreaks, such as Ebola, MERS, and chikungunya virus; new scientific discoveries, such as a hundred-million-year-old virus that infected the common ancestor of armadillos, elephants, and humans; and new findings that show why climate change may lead to even deadlier outbreaks. Zimmer's lucid explanations and fascinating stories demonstrate how deeply humans and viruses are intertwined. Viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, are responsible for many of our most devastating diseases, and will continue to control our fate for centuries. Thoroughly readable, and as reassuring as it is frightening, A Planet of Viruses is a fascinating tour of a formidable hidden world.

Wenn man das Wort Tonic Water hört, denkt man meistens an eine bitter schmeckende Limonade oder an einen Gin-Tonic-Longdrink im Sommerurlaub am Strand. Doch was hat Tonic Water mit der seit dem Jahr 2020 grassierenden Corona-Pandemie zu tun? Die Antwort auf diese Frage wird in diesem Buch gegeben, denn dieses faszinierende fluoreszierende Getränk kann interessante Einblicke in das Pandemie-Geschehen geben. Seit Beginn der COVID‐19 Pandemie Anfang ranken sich viele Mythen rund um das neuartige Virus. Mit einer immer größer werdenden Zahl wissenschaftlicher Begriffe, die inzwischen den Alltag in der Krise bestimmen, wird es für den Laien zunehmend schwerer, Mythos und Wirklichkeit auseinanderzuhalten. Um es in den Worten eines bekannten US-Politikers zu sagen: Es gibt hier diverse Fake-News, deren Einordnung und Überprüfung oftmals nicht einfach ist. Zumeist sind dafür genaue Betrachtungen der Sachverhalte von Nöten. In diesem Buch werden daher 14 in der Gesellschaft diskutierte Mythen, die im Zusammenhang mit der Corona‐Krise immer wieder auftreten, auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Diesen kann mit einfachen Experimenten, die von zu Hause aus durchgeführt werden können, auf den Grund gegangen werden. Neben einer Einordnung des jeweiligen Mythos finden sich daher in diesem Buch Anleitungen und Erklärungen zu Experimenten, die sich beispielsweise mit der Effektivität verschiedener Masken, dem Unterschied zwischen Desinfektionsmittel und Seife oder der Rolle von Bargeld als Virusüberträger auseinandersetzen. Und dabei spielt eben auch das Tonic Water eine entscheidende Rolle!

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.
