Atlas of diseases and epidemics mapped (Dutch language)

This book provides an overview of the spread of epidemics throughout history - from the plague that devastated Europe in the fourteenth century to the deadly cholera outbreaks of the nineteenth century to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, the Ebola virus that took hold from Africa and the disastrous spread of zika in Brazil. Using historical illustrations and a combination of historical maps and new maps with current data, the Atlas of Diseases and Epidemics provides insight into the course of the most virulent and deadly pandemics in history. Find out how illnesses have influenced over time, led to new medical discoveries, and learn how maps and plans have played a decisive role in disease prevention and cure.
