This book presents the 24 discoveries in infectious diseases that have merited Nobel Prize recognition since the inception of the awards in 1901. Grouped according to biological groups rather than chronology, each discovery includes a biographical sketch of the laureate(s), a description of the research, and a summary of the current status of the field. In addition, consideration is given to the relevance of the research on the general field of biology and medicine.

Sufferings, Deranged, Disgusted, Solitude but WHY? Every since the age we were able to comprehend, we were taught to respect our elders and be obedient to high authorities no matter the ethnicity, color, and background. As a child, sexually abuse by my father, a man not living by morals and ethics at that time, introduced to me to explicit behavior that greatly confused me and held me in bondage knocking my self-esteem very low: BUT GOD shaped and molded me into a spiritual being and revitalized my relationship with Christ. Now years later, I am able to testify.
