Synopsis

Recent world events - SARS, repeated outbreaks of bird flu, E. coli 0157 and Ebola plus terrorist threats involving biological weapons such as anthrax - have sparked an interest amongst the general public for more information on these life threatening diseases. This fascinating book looks at what bacteria are and how they replicate; how and why we get infected with them; what effects they can have on our bodies; and what we can do to protect ourselves against them.

Microbiologist, Dr William Dundon, is a research scientist working in Italy. When asked for information on various human diseases, he found little written for the non-scientist. His book introduces the subject in a clear an readable manner, as well as providing specific information on nearly 70 bacterial diseases.
