About

Cholera: How the Blue Death Changed History introduces young readers to cholera, a dangerous infectious disease historically known as the “blue death.” The book explains the biology of the disease, how it spreads through contaminated water, and the devastating effect cholera outbreaks have had on communities throughout history. 

Readers learn how scientific discoveries and advances in medicine helped people better understand, treat, and prevent the disease. The book combines history and science to show how efforts to combat cholera contributed to developments in public health and disease prevention. Written as part of the Infected! series, it uses an accessible, high-interest approach designed to make complex medical and historical topics understandable to young readers.
