Thousands of species are known, there must be thousands more that are unknown, and they prey on all life forms. The authors relate stories that cross time and geography, along with interesting stories, scientific data, and strategies to fight against these predators.
Viruses have changed the history of humanity, and Covid-19 is no less.
