From the plague of Justinian and the Black Death all the way to COVID-19, infamous outbreaks have redirected history and humanity. However, pathogens are only part of the story.

After all, to defeat our greatest enemies, we must first understand what makes them so formidable. And so the question remains: who will define the next chapter; the disease, or us?
