Since the beginning of human history, we have been at war with an
invisible enemy. Microbes. These tiny organisms can spread terrible
diseases. Ramses V, Pharaoh of Egypt may have died of smallpox; in
1918 a new illness called the Spanish Flu killed 50 million people
in 18 months; and in the fourteenth century the black death killed
more than a quarter of the population. In more recent times Covid
19 has changed the way we live. But there's good news too! Human
scientists have learned to fight back. In the 18th century edward
Jenner developed the first vaccine, and since the 1930s penicillin
has saved millions of lives. And many microbes are helpful. They
help our digestion, give us powerful medicines and even food. This
is the Microbe Wars. It's good, it's bad sometimes it's ugly, but
it's a scientific journey filled with innovation and hope.
