Human Health and Disease

It covers the common infectious diseases of humans and the pathogens behind them (from typhoid and pneumonia to malaria, amoebiasis, filariasis and ringworm), the body's defences through innate and acquired immunity, vaccination, allergies and autoimmunity, and then three major health challenges — AIDS, cancer, and drug and alcohol abuse.
