Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Elena is a brave researcher who has come face-to-face with two of humanity's most devastating outbreaks: The Black Plague and Yellow Fever. Her mission is not to eradicate them, but to cultivate them and use them to fight off more destructive diseases. These two illnesses will follow Elena and a T cell along a journey to understanding the immune system, bacteria, viruses, and contagious diseases. This book is a perfect blend of humor, resistance, history, and a detailed explanation of immunology, all from a cell's perspective. You'll also get to read about the latest research pertaining to cancer and malaria.

¡Volvámonos virales juntos! Elena se encuentra en la peligrosísima misión de reclutar a does de las plagas más mortales de la historia: Peste Bubónica y Fiebre Amarilla. Si lo logra, podrá combatir otras enfermedades como el cáncer y la malria. Pero convencerias no será tarea fácil, y para ello tendrá que recorrer todo el sistema inmune con ellas y con la ayuda de uno de sus linfocitos más fuertes.
In gloriously gross detail, you'll meet dangerous microscopic invaders like protozoa, fungi, viruses, and foreign bacteria - then see how our bodies work to fight back and defend us against future infections. We get to know the critters behind history's worst diseases. We delve into the biology and mechanisms of infections, diseases, and immunity, and also the incredible effect that technology and medical science have had on humanity's ability to contain and treat disease.
