To catch a virus / John Booss, Marie Louise Landry, with Marilyn J. August

"We are pleased with the reception of the first edition of To Catch a Virus, suggesting that there is a place in the literature for a book describing the history of how viruses are captured and identified. With a nod to To Catch a Thief, Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 classic mystery film, the first edition served as a chronicle of discovery and diagnosis. It was a history of diagnostic virology from the initial diagnosis of a human viral illness at the turn of the 20th century by Walter Reed and the Yellow Fever Commission to the emergence of molecular methods of diagnosis and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) epidemic more than a century later. We covered the first diagnostic virology lab at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center at the start of World War II. Diagnostic virology would emerge to sit astride the confluence of dynamic developments in science, public health struggles with epidemics and emerging diseases, and the intensive medical care of individual patients"--.
