      Focusing on the pivotal role of veterinary scientists, this book explores the century of breakthroughs against infectious plagues like anthrax, tuberculosis, and polio. It recounts significant events such as the 1872 influenza pandemic, the 1880s discoveries of disease causes, and the eradication of Texas cattle fever and yellow fever. The narrative also addresses historical threats, including German anthrax attacks during World War I and Japanese biological warfare in the 1940s, while highlighting contemporary bioterrorism risks.
