Description

This exciting book tells the story of the recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak. Follow the SARS trail from rural China as it spreads to various places in the world. See how seemingly casual contacts help the disease spread like wildfire. Work alongside the many infectious disease specialists from health organizations around the world as they painstakingly trace the disease to its origins and simultaneously work on treatments-all the time knowing that each hour of delay allows the disease to spread even further.
