Summary

Flu, measles, gastro-enteritis, the list goes on. Throughout our lives, viruses regularly cross our paths. Others such as the Zika virus, H1N1 and Ebola hit the news headlines. In this book we’re given descriptions of a wide variety of viruses, how they’re transmitted and learn about the multiplication process at work. We’ll also find out why they cause illnesses and sometimes kill, how to fight them, and even how to utilise them for controlling other diseases.

Ce livre qui paraît sans prétention est d'une grande richesse d'information. Je n'avais qu'une connaissance très imprécise des virus, bien que passé par une grande école, car à l'époque de mes cours en en savait encore peu (par exemple le caractère filtrant du virus de la mosaïque du tabac). Ce fut une vraie découverte.Bien qu'écrit avant la découverte du coronavirus du covid, tout ce que l'on présente dans les journaux sur le SRAS Cov 2 sur la diffusion, les moyens de se protéger, les mutations etc. apparaît déjà pour d'autres virus proches. Je l'ai lu deux fois, sans doute mieux la seconde que la première. Bravo aux auteurs pour ce livre facile à lire et si précis.
