Virology and evolutionary
biologist Professor Eddie Holmes takes Dr Karl time travelling to
visit a deadly virus. Many of today's treatments took thousands of
years to develop. Smallpox proved to be a tough virus to
manage but it also taught us how to fight back. From skin
scratching to cows, the American Civil War, Baltic mummies and DNA
- Science finally stopped smallpox in its tracks.
