Sixty percent of infectious human diseases are shared with other vertebrates. Alan Olmstead and Paul Rhode tell how innovations to combat livestock infections--border control, food inspection, drug regulation, federal research labs--turned the U.S. into a world leader in combatting communicable diseases, and remain central to public health policy.
