Microbial Scourges and Their Impact on Health.

Howell, Dennis G.; Soltys, Marian A.

Impact of Science on Society, v32 n2 p199-208 Apr-Jun 1982

A review of great epidemics (rat-borne, plague, smallpox, cholera, influenza, rabies, tuberculosis) reveals the devastation they have caused. Success in the battle against these is being won through hygiene, sanitation, vector control, and vaccines, especially since microbiology has provided a rational understanding of the diseases.
