‘However well secured and well regulated civilized life may become, bacteria, protozoa, viruses, infected fleas, lice, ticks, mosquitoes and bedbugs will always lurk in the shadows ready to pounce when neglect, poverty, famine or war lets down the defences. And even in normal times they prey on the weak, the very young and the very old, living among us, in mysterious obscurity waiting their opportunities.’ Hans Zinsser. Rats, Life and History. 1935.
