Do you want to learn more about the Spanish Flu and its consequences? If your answer is yes, then keep reading
1918 has to be considered a terrible and sad year for our forefathers. Hopeful soldiers were so glad to be returning from WWI. They were coming home to their families and loved ones in the hope of seeing their spouses and children. Instead, they were greeted by one of the worst pandemics ever to hit the modern-day World.
They did not know at the time that they were part of the problem because they did not realize the flu had followed them home. During this time, there was so little known about how the flu was being transferred between humans or some other source because it had not yet been identified.
The one thing that everyone did know was that people were dying at such a rapid rate. It was unbelievable. You might be feeling fine one day, and within 36 hours, you were dead, and whatever it was, it was spreading like wildfire.
This book covers:
- The history of the spanish influence of 1918
- Socio-economic consequences of the world's worst crisis in those years.
- Vaccine against influence, the case of the Pfeiffer vaccine
- Reasons for the expansion of an epidemic
- Dealing with self-isolation
- The war and virus that changed world
- Between the Spanish flu 1918 and convid19 assessment
- Bad habits that can make us sick

Описание: THE PLAGUE YEARS Mankind has always been fascinated by origins, and biologists are no exception. Darwin is our most famous example. What is the origin of mankind, of species, of infectious diseases? In the last few years we have seen the emergence and spread of some apparently new viruses, such as HIV -1 and the virus causing bovine spongiform encephalomyelopathy. But are these, in fact, entirely new agents, or mutated forms of old viruses that have evolved along with us for eons? Edgar Hope-Simpson could not have written this book at a more opportune moment. He is a firm believer in gradual evolution, rather than the sudden arrival of new agents. I suspect that he would also have a naturalist's Darwinian approach for the origin of AIDS. It has been a source of some amazement to me over the years how even the most innovative scientists conform to a current hypothesis. Pioneer thinking comes more easily to persons outside the scientific mainstream. Edgar Hope- Simpson has always struck me as a modem-day naturalist of the classic style, observant and perhaps a little maverick in line of thought. Certainly, the central hypothesis propounded in this book will be controversial to many scientists. From his unique citadel, the Epidemiological Research Unit in Cirencester, he has carefully reexamined mortality data from old records as well as new.

Описание: This book provides salient information on all aspects of influenza/flu viruses affecting animals and humans. It specifically reviews the properties and replication of influenza viruses; their evolution and emergence; epidemiology; role of migratory birds in disease transmission; clinical signs in humans, animals and poultry; pathogenesis and pathogenicity; public health importance and potential threats; diagnosis; prevention and control measures; and pandemic preparedness. Influenza/flu viruses evolve continuously and jump species causing epidemics as well as pandemics in both human and animals. During the past 150 years, various strains of influenza virus like the Spanish flu, Asian flu, Hong Kong flu, bird flu and swine flu were responsible for high mortality in humans as well as birds. High mutation rates, antigenic shifts, drifts, reassortment phenomena, and the development of antiviral drug resistance all contribute to ineffective chemotherapy and vaccines against influenza viruses. Due to their devastating nature, high zoonotic implications and high mortality in humans and poultry, they have a severe impact on the socioeconomic status of countries. Disease awareness, rapid and accurate diagnosis, surveillance, strict biosecurity, timely adoption of appropriate preventive and control measures and pandemic preparedness are crucial to help reduce virus transmission, thus reducing clinical cases, deaths and pandemic threats.
