Summary

What happens when a strange new illness affects many people all at once? Epidemiologists - the disease detectives - are called in to investigate the situation. The recent outbreaks of West Nile Virus, avian flu, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have presented unique challenges to epidemiologists. In all-new sections, this updated edition reveals the efforts involved in identifying and containing the spread of these life-threatening diseases. Also included is the latest information on HIV/AIDS, as well as a special section about the difficulties involved in dealing with deliberate acts of bioterrorism, such as anthrax attacks. Outbreak takes a look at epidemics and pandemics that have plagued people throughout history, and the men and women responsible for battling them.
