Bird Flu: Everything You Need to Know

Description

First identified in China, this apparently merciless virus which originated in chickens has the potential to mutate, possibly killing thousands, even millions, of people. But how accurate is this picture? Is it a panic created by the media or a genuine threat against which we should protect ourselves immediately - and how can we do this? This book answers these questions and much more.

Professor Tony Minson is Head of the Virology Department at the University of Cambridge, and a member of the Lister Institute of Preventative Medicine.
