About this listen

The subject of infection and how to fight it grows more urgent every day. How do pathogens cause disease? And what tools can we give our bodies to do battle? Dr. John S. Tregoning has dedicated his career to answering these questions. Infectious uncovers fascinating success stories in immunology and virology, making this book not only a vital overview of infection but also a hopeful history of human ingenuity.

A fascinating history of infections and the science we have created against it. There is a decent amount of depth to the science for those with more background in the subject but explained clearly enough for those that do not.

Delivered with humour and humility it feels although you are at a small group seminar led by your favourite professor rather than the recipient of a lecture.

Great listen.

Very informative journey through science and infections

Way too much politics for a book about a virus. Other than that it's a solid source of information.

10% of the book is ranting about politics
