Description: Sometimes moving in leaps and bounds, sometimes inching forward, the underlying scientific principles of infectious diseases have become more fully understood. From bad air to bacteria, from Galen's description of smallpox to Gallo and Montaigner's breakthroughs with HIV and AIDS to the first vaccine trial for HIV, from the earliest discoveries to the latest developments, Dates in Infectious Diseases provides a timeline of information documenting the evolution of our current knowledge.
