病毒猎人:当疫情和大流行来袭时,科学如何保护人们

2024 | English | 0063069547 | EPUB | 336 pages | 12 MB

A propulsive nonfiction look at the elite squads of scientists, doctors, and infectious disease experts who guard the boundary between public health and pandemics and how they gather data via boots on the ground “shoe-leather epidemiology” in order to save lives.

Perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin and Deborah Heiligman!

Picture a detective. What comes to mind? A fast-talking private eye, interrogating a suspect? Or Sherlock Holmes, in his deerstalker hat, discovering clues to catch a killer?

Now imagine that the suspect isn’t a person but a microscopic menace—a deadly virus or bacteria making people sick. What kind of detective does it take to nab a biological assassin, invisible to the naked eye?

Just like detectives, epidemiologists—scientists who study how diseases emerge and spread—interview witnesses and gather clues to identify the cause of illness, locate those who are sick, and uncover the sources of outbreaks to stop them in their tracks.

From a quickly spreading cholera outbreak in 1880s London, to a mystery illness in New Mexico that stumped investigators, to the development of the vaccines to fight COVID-19 and more, join acclaimed author Amy Cherrix on a journey to explore the past, present, and future of virus hunting as the world’s greatest disease detectives race to crack the medical codes that lead to cures.

2024 |英语| 0063069547 | EPUB | 336页| 12 MB一部推进性的非虚构作品,讲述了保护公共卫生和流行病之间界限的科学家、医生和传染病专家精英团队,以及他们如何通过地面“鞋革流行病学”收集数据以拯救生命。 非常适合Steve Sheinkin和Deborah Heiligman的粉丝! 想象一个侦探。你想到了什么?一个说话很快的私家侦探,在审问嫌疑人?还是戴着猎鹿帽的夏洛克·福尔摩斯发现了抓捕凶手的线索? 现在想象一下,嫌疑人不是一个人,而是一个微观的威胁——一种致命的病毒或细菌,会让人生病。需要什么样的侦探才能抓到肉眼看不见的生物刺客? 就像侦探一样,流行病学家——研究疾病如何出现和传播的科学家——采访目击者并收集线索,以确定病因,找到病人,并发现疫情爆发的来源,以阻止他们的传播。 从19世纪80年代伦敦爆发的霍乱疫情迅速蔓延,到新墨西哥州一种让调查人员感到困惑的神秘疾病,再到对抗新冠肺炎的疫苗开发等等,随着世界上最伟大的疾病侦探竞相破解导致治愈的医学密码,与著名作家艾米·切尔里克斯一起探索病毒狩猎的过去、现在和未来。
