One hundred and fifty years ago, a scientific revolution occurred: Researchers figured out that disease is not spread by "bad air" but by infectious microorganisms. This insight changed the world. Through a combination of vaccination, pasteurization, and water chlorination -- in addition to improved sanitation and hygiene -- infectious disease has largely become an afterthought in the developed world.However, pathogens aren't entirely gone. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise. An influenza pandemic is an ever-present threat. Bizarre viruses from obscure parts of the world are creeping into our cities. Many public health officials fear that complacency could make us susceptible to another plague. The good news is that we can stop it, if we arm ourselves with science and vigilance.
