Livre 1 sur 5: What Science Says About... Outbreaks & Pathogens - Volume 4
Synopsis
A virus that lives peacefully inside a mouse can kill a third of the humans it infects.
Hantavirus has haunted rural cabins, hospital wards, and now a cruise ship at sea, yet remains one of the rarest and most lethal infections known to medicine, with no cure and no reliable treatment. Researchers have traced its ancient evolutionary truce with rodents, mapped how an overreacting immune system can turn against the body it's meant to protect, and documented Andes virus, the single exception that allows transmission between people.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why a virus harmless to rodents proves lethal in humans
- How immune overreaction turns the body's own defenses against it
- What the 2026 cruise ship outbreak really revealed about risk
Part of the What Science Says About… series, dedicated to evidence over assumption—explore the collection.

What Science Says About : Hantavirus
Vendeur : AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Allemagne
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - When stories about hantavirus appear in the news, they often trigger fear, confusion, and speculation. Is it highly contagious How dangerous is it Could it become the next global pandemic And what does science actually tell us about the real risks What Science Says About: Hantavirus cuts through the headlines to provide a clear, evidence-based exploration of one of the world's most misunderstood infectious diseases.Written for curious readers, this accessible guide examines the biology, ecology, history, and public health significance of hantaviruses without sensationalism or unnecessary jargon. Drawing on decades of scientific research, epidemiological investigations, and medical evidence, this book explains what experts know, what remains uncertain, and why hantavirus continues to attract attention despite its relative rarity.Inside, you'll discover: - How hantaviruses were discovered and why they differ from many other viral diseases- The surprising relationship between rodents and human infection- How transmission actually occurs-and why common misconceptions persist- The differences between Old World and New World hantaviruses- The science behind hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)- Why some outbreaks become major news stories while others receive little attention- How scientists track, study, and predict emerging zoonotic diseases- The role of climate, environmental change, and human behavior in shaping disease risk- What researchers have learned from past outbreaks around the world- The myths, misunderstandings, and media narratives that often distort public perception- Current prevention strategies, treatments, and ongoing vaccine researchRather than focusing solely on the virus itself, this book explores the broader scientific questions raised by hantavirus: how diseases move between animals and humans, how outbreaks are investigated, why people fear certain risks more than others, and how evidence-based public health decisions are made.Whether you are interested in infectious diseases, epidemiology, public health, wildlife ecology, medical science, or simply want a trustworthy explanation of a topic frequently surrounded by misinformation, this book provides the context needed to understand hantavirus in a rapidly changing world.Part of the What Science Says About. series, this volume combines scientific rigor with engaging storytelling to help readers separate evidence from speculation and understand what current research truly reveals.The science is more fascinating-and often more reassuring-than the headlines suggest.
