A microbial horror show — an overview of some of the most devastating infectious diseases in history.

Dare to be scared, and be inspired by the stunning advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of life-threatening infections.

Featuring cholera, measles and the plague, and many more.

More than 60 children infected in north London measles outbreak Cases reported in seven schools and a nursery in Enfield amid concern over low levels of MMR vaccination in capital

A reminder that measles cannot be treated, it can only be prevented.

It is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and can cause blindness, deafness and life-threatening lung and brain infections.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

A reminder that it's not a question if but when there will be another global pandemic.

It can happen any moment, and we need to be prepared.
