Description
Disease Selection: The way disease changed the world explores the host-pathogen relationship and the way communicable diseases have evolved often to stay one step ahead of interventions. From sexually transmitted disease through to ancient and modern great plagues, parasites, food, zoonoses, climate change and populations, this book explores the way disappeared and emergent diseases have shaped our world just as much as nature has. This book provides key information and is a valuable resource for students, practitioners and researchers working in global health and anyone interested in understanding of the basis of disease.

Reviews
"Dr. Webber has succeeded in the ambitious task of describing the evolution of a broad range of organisms and their interrelationships during that process, with special emphasis on how diseases have influenced the evolution of humans. The book is clearly written, and many will find the index and extensive references useful. It will be an enjoyable read for audiences with a broad range of expertise in the biological sciences." - Emerging Infectious Disease
