It starts from the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak to reflect on infectious diseases that remain a global threat: flu, AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Salvador Macip, doctor and researcher, analyzes whether we are better prepared than during the 1918 flu pandemic, the response of the authorities, the safety of vaccines, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the possibility of eradicating these diseases.
The book belongs to the Imago Mundi collection from Ediciones Destino. It was originally published in 2010.
For readers interested in science and health seeking an accessible approach to the great infectious threats of our time.
