Features: So far, what are the main infectious diseases humans have faced? How were they discovered and controlled? How should we prevent them? This book takes a macro perspective of human history and weaves the origins and developments of various infectious diseases into historical events and stories, making it vivid, interesting, and easy to understand. We believe readers will find it easy to accept. Starting with "The Struggle Between Humans and Plagues," the book integrates prevention and control knowledge of infectious diseases such as AIDS, mad cow disease, plague, cholera, and typhoid into engaging historical events and stories, concluding with "Vaccines, the Last Defense Against Plagues." Using simple language and a humorous tone, the author presents a series of historical scrolls and tells touching stories. We believe readers will not only enjoy the magnificent scenes of humanity's battle against plagues but also, without realizing it, recognize infectious diseases and master relevant prevention and control knowledge. At the same time, this book reveals a truth to readers: as long as we deeply learn from the experience and lessons of humanity's struggle against infectious diseases and fully utilize science as a weapon, we will ultimately be able to conquer plagues.
