With exclusive access, this award-winning series features leading scientists from around the world as they seek to keep pace with potential pathogens. It also connects today’s outbreaks with historical epidemics and explores factors that may accelerate future outbreaks like human-animal interactions, drug resistance, climate change, urbanization and globalization.

Through cinematic medical animations, three episodes uncover the unseen operations of viruses, bacteria and mosquito-borne diseases, and their treatments through vaccines, antibiotics and antibodies. Diseases discussed include coronavirus, influenza, H1N1 swine flu, polio, superbugs, tuberculosis, malaria and dengue.
