Federal Body Snatchers and the New Guinea Virus: Tales of People, Parasites, and Politics Hardcover - 2002
by Robert S. Desowitz
Like a novelist, Desowitz traces the histories of the world's devastating diseases and the issues all must confront--the morality and legality of patent laws; the effect of global warming on epidemics; public support for the commercial biomedical industry; and the terrifying shadow of bioterrorism. 8 illustrations.
First line
If "emerging diseases" had a sense of humor, they would be amused at being "discovered" like some lost tribe.
