Spillover book5/13/2023 ![]() Spillover reads like a mystery tale, full of mayhem and clues and questions. He illuminates the dynamics of Ebola, SARS, bird flu, Lyme disease, and other emerging threats and tells the story of AIDS and its origins as it has never before been told. David Quammen has tracked this subject from the jungles of Central Africa, the rooftops of Bangladesh, and the caves of southern China to the laboratories where researchers work in space suits to study lethal viruses. Experts call such an event "spillover" and they warn us to brace ourselves. The next big human pandemic-the next disease cataclysm, perhaps on the scale of AIDS or the 1918 influenza-is likely to be caused by a new virus coming to humans from wildlife. ![]() About the Book A masterpiece of science reporting that tracks the animal origins of emerginghuman diseases. ![]()
