Emerging Infections: How Epidemics Arise
Tackling the complex causes of epidemics, Dr. Donald Ganem explains how mutations in genes and changes in the environment and human social behavior can give rise to new infectious diseases. He cites the influenza virus as an example of genetic changes that have led to epidemics and pandemics. He also shows the impact of weather on a 1993 outbreak of Hanta virus, describes the effect of human migration on the spread of smallpox, and examines what happened when the myxoma virus was introduced in Australia in the 1950s to control the rabbit population.

EDIT: Since there are, of course, epidemics that I missed, I may post a second part to this video. Because apparently, there are more things wrong with YouTube than ANYONE could ever imagine!

Venedig, San Giorgio Maggiore und andere - Venice
Three of his most beautiful churches owes Venice to the economic flower and the plague epidemics.
.....
Venedig verdankt drei seiner schoensten Kirchen der wirtschaftlichen Bluete und den Pest-Epidemien.

Jahrhundert die Serenissima, dieses auch durch einen repraesentativen Bau gegenueber dem Dogenpalast auf der Insel San Giorgio Maggiore zu verdeutlichen. So entstand die Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore, ein maechtiger Bau mit einer Fassade aus istrischem Marmor, ganz auf Fernwirkung ausgelegt. Andrea Palladios Entwurf stand in einem deutlichen Kontrast zur 1565 in Venedig vorherrschenden byzantinischen Architektur. Er schuf eine Fassade, in die er klassische Formen der Antike integrierte.
