Description
An engrossing and lively history of the fearsome and mythologized virus
In the tradition of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Great Influenza, journalist Bill Wasik and veterinarian Monica Murphy chart the history, science, and cultural mythology of rabies. In the absence of vaccination--as was true for thousands of year, until the late nineteenth century--the rabies virus cause brain infections with a nearly 100 percent fatality rate, both in animals and humans, and the suffering it inflicted became the stuff of legend.
