Plagues tells the story of our eternal enemies...infectious diseases. Tuberculosis, a disease which was nearly vanquished but evolved to come back to haunt us; Ebola and Hanta viruses, newly emerging and incurable; Smallpox, the old scourge that claimed hundreds of millions of human lives but remains now only in a freezer...or so we think. These formidable microbes, both old and new continue to shape our world.
