À propos de cette écoute
A masterpiece of science reporting that tracks the animal origins of emerging human diseases.
The emergence of strange new diseases is a frightening problem that seems to be getting worse. In this age of speedy travel, it threatens a worldwide pandemic. We hear news reports of Ebola, SARS, AIDS, and something called Hendra killing horses and people in Australia - but those reports miss the big truth that such phenomena are part of a single pattern. The bugs that transmit these diseases share one thing: they originate in wild animals and pass to humans by a process called spillover. David Quammen tracks this subject around the world. He recounts adventures in the field - netting bats in China, trapping monkeys in Bangladesh, stalking gorillas in the Congo - with the world’s leading disease scientists. In Spillover, Quammen takes the listener along on this astonishing quest to learn how, where from, and why these diseases emerge, and he asks the terrifying question: What might the next big one be?

It is a good introduction to the human intricacies of working in this field and the basics of risk management as relating to all the viruses, bacteria, and other diseases that we and other animals are at risk of.
I recommend this book if you know nothing about the subject and want to understand it better in an accessible way.
The reading was enjoyable and I don’t have anything negative to say about it. This was a good experience for me.
A great introduction to pandemics
