Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was the first to be monitored by molecular genetic methods from the beginning. During historic pandemics, from the Justinianic Plague through to the 1918 Flu, people could not know what hit them. Ancient DNA technology and the motivating force of the current crisis are now helping to understand the earlier pandemics and hopefully to better manage future ones. Michael Gross reports.
