So my new book is now officially titled, “The Fever: How Malaria Ruled Humankind for 500,000 Years.” Hoowee! Meanwhile I’m working on a new piece on emerging infections from animals (called “zoonoses”), such as Ebola, Nipah virus, Hanta and West Nile. It’ll be appearing in a cool new online enviro magazine called “e360” which features some of my favorite writers–Carl Zimmer, Elizabeth Kolbert and others. Check it out at e360.com
