About the book

"Join expert storytellers John Booss and Marilyn J. August on a journey through the history of viral epidemics and the work of those determined to identify the culprits and treat the infected. From the identification of the first virus in the late 1800s to the molecular techniques that today allow physicians to know-within minutes-how best to treat an AIDS patient, the diagnostic virology laboratory has progressed over the past century to become a formidable tool in human health care. Replete with rich imagery, including photographs of key figures, diagrams of diagnostic procedures, and micrographs of virus-infected cells, To Catch a Virus is compelling reading for the scientific pioneer and adventure seeker who is interested in the evolution of virology." -- Publisher information.
