Book Synopsis
The medical tapestry of the world is full of organisms too small to see, carried by flying and creeping creatures too numerous to eradicate.


Trade Review
"Dr. Desowitz tells many wise and important things about the health problems of the Third World . . . and of our own world. Fortunately, he presents his views in the form of highly entertaining stories that reveal how the life complexities of the microbial agents of disease are more than matched by the oddities of human behavior." -- Rene Dubos
