Viruses: are we winning battles but losing the war?

In the first of three science inspired tales, Ab Osterhaus tackles the issue Viruses: are we winning battles but losing the war, bringing an historical overview of our fight against viruses, from variolation in Ancient China to our current state-of-the-art vaccines.

The Science Inspired Tales have been recorded before a live audience in the Albert Hall Complex Theatre in Brussels on 23 May 2012.
