pandemics are pandemic infections are enormous topic. it could've been written by epidemiologists, and one with the spread of infection. a particular interest is in the nature of infectious disease, how we deal with infectious disease, how are immune response deals with and how disease causes the ecology and the damage that can lead to an outcome. so that really turned me on. so i thought about it. i thought, whoever writes a book on this would be very different, depending on their particular background. this is my pandemic. it's kind of an unusual book. it's a question-and-answer book because his party's series called what everyone needs to know. this series has titles like food for the world, what everyone needs to know. the catholic church, what everyone needs to know. i bought that one, haven't read it yet. i know "pandemics: what everyone needs to know" it's really interesting to read a question-and-answer book. i'm a research scientist. being a scientist is a very collegial at dvd. we do research. someone like me works with a lot o

the pandemic's book the pandemics book deals a lot with tuberculosis and the big threats that are out there. and also the chickens book has three chapters on implants of because in both cases the influenza viruses maintain a in nature as diseases of water birds and the bird book tells the story of how that -- we didn't know this before the late 1960s. it was put together by two friends of mine. these viruses are maintained in true water birds. why is that? influence of viruses and birds grow essentially in the intestinal tract relatively asymptomatic but the virus survives well in are and it infects just about all species of water birds and impacts many species of mammals as well. the influence of viruses is in whales and seals and leopards and now we have just found one in bats. there are 16 different types of these things and birds were as only three -- and having a virus that survives well in water that affects different species of water birds is a fantastic way to maintain nature because even though the virus changes and they change a lot these viruses as we know because we have t

it's not a pandemic problem. swimming pools that are infected with the bug. >> how has globalization impacted the spread of these types of viruss and parasites? >> it's rapid air travel that's been the thing that spread things around. we now get flu around the world in months. in 1980, 1990 with the terrible flu pandemic, it didn't get to australia until 1919, and that's because of sea travel, everyone died or recovered by the time they got up there. with air travel, influence goes very fast, within six weeks. >> anything specific people can do when they are traveling to be safer? >> yeah, you can be careful. if you're sitting -- if you're in a plane and someone has got the flu, you're not going to catch it unless you're within two or three seats of them, usually. aisle seat. if you're traveling to exotic places, exotic diseases, the sort of thing you see in the movie "contagion," just be careful and protect against mosquito bite. and if you feel sick, certainly see a doctor. if you're sick on a plane, tell the p
