How a mysterious, super-powerful—yet long-neglected—microbe rules our world and can rescue our health in the age of antibiotic resistance. At every moment, within our bodies and all around us, trillions of microscopic combatants are waging a war that shapes our health and life on Earth...

The population is terrified by reports of so-called COVID-19, measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS, or polio. However, the authors of "Virus Mania", investigative journalist Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr. Claus Köhnlein, MD, Dr. Samantha Bailey, MD, and Dr. Stefano Scoglio, BSc PhD, show that this fearmongering is unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores basic scientific facts: The existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven.

Where did viruses come from? What are viruses? Are viruses life forms? Are there any bacteria that attack other cells by eating them from the inside out? Are bacteria and viruses the same thing? What are the blood cells? How does the cell know when to divide? What gives a signal? What is the signal? And how does it cause the DNA to condense? What's the difference between beneficial blood types and harmful blood types? Discover the answers to all these questions and more.

Despite advances in health care, infectious microbes continue to be a formidable adversary to scientists and doctors. Vaccines and antibiotics, the mainstays of modern medicine, have not been able to conquer infectious microbes because of their amazing ability to adapt, evolve, and spread to new places. Terrorism aside, one of the greatest dangers from infectious disease we face today is from a massive outbreak of drug-resistant microbes.

SARS­CoV­2 hält seit über zwei Jahren die Welt in Atem. Doch wo liegt der Ursprung des Virus und wie genau ist es entstanden? Wie ein Krimi ­nal kommissar hat sich der erfahrene Molekular­biologe Günter Theißen auf Spurensuche begeben und seit Anbeginn der Pandemie alle verfügbaren Fakten zusammenge tragen. Schon bald musste er jedoch feststellen, dass sich die Mehrzahl der Fachleute und ein Großteil der Medien auf eine rein natürliche Entstehung des Virus festgelegt haben—ohne hieb­ und stichfeste Beweise! Warum besteht so wenig Interesse daran, die Wahrheit zu erfahren?

In a destitute hospital in the crowded African city of Kikwit, townspeople, nurses, and doctors are dying of a gruesome disease at the rate of more than a dozen a day. Zaire is on the brink of an explosive epidemic - but the outbreak is stopped when experts from the Centers for Disease Control...

I batteri sono gli esseri unicellulari più piccoli fra tutti gli organismi viventi, i virus sono organizzazioni biologiche di dimensioni addirittura inferiori a quelle della più piccola cellula batterica, ma entrambi possono infettare l'uomo, o altri animali e organismi vegetali, provocando malattie spesso gravi o addirittura letali.

The enormous human and economic toll of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 disease offers a vivid reminder that infectious disease pandemics are one of the greatest existential threats to humanity. This book provides an accessible explanation of how viruses emerge to cause pandemics, how our immune system combats them, and how diagnostic tests, vaccines, and antiviral therapies work - concepts that are a foundation for our public health policies.

It can come in waves - like tidal waves. It changes societies. It disrupts life. It ends lives. As far back as 3000 B.C.E. (the Bronze Age), plagues have stricken mankind. COVID-19 is just the latest example, but history shows that life continues. It shows that knowledge and social cooperation can save lives. Viruses are neither alive nor dead and are the closest thing we have to zombies. Their only known function is to replicate themselves, which can have devastating consequences on their hosts.

Alla fine del 2019, i medici degli ospedali di Wuhan, nella Cina centrale, si trovano ad affrontare una strana sindrome respiratoria che pare legata al grande mercato ittico della città, dove oltre al pesce si vende ogni tipo di animale commestibile, vivo o morto. Mentre i malati si moltiplicano e alcuni soccombono a una polmonite virale particolarmente aggressiva, i laboratori riescono rapidamente a isolare il responsabile della malattia: è un nuovo coronavirus, simile a quello della SARS che tra il 2002 e il 2003 aveva spaventato il mondo.

A vista de microscopio habitan los seres que realmente rigen este mundo. Prepárate para conocer a esos organismos tan poderosos que pueden mandarte al otro barrio de un estornudo. ¡Los nanobichitos mandan!

In 2020, an invisible germ - a virus - wholly upended our lives. We're most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or Covid-19. But viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees. Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground.

An urgent case for how we could have stopped the Covid-19 pandemic—and how to make sure it never happens again "MacKenzie's fascinating book gives us the scope and scale to be able to put this pandemic in perspective and, it begs the question, will we learn from this in time to prevent to next...

Viruses are the world's most abundant life form, and now, when humanity is in the midst of a close encounter with their immense power, perhaps the most feared. But do we understand viruses? Possibly the most enigmatic of living things, they are sometimes not considered a life form at all...
