Virus Crisis

Brief Summary

In today's global marketplace, modern shipping and transportation could allow the spread of some viruses across the planet with terrifying speed. Now, researchers are scrambling for answers within the animal world, searching for clues that may help prevent the next deadly outbreak. In VIRUS CRISIS, biologist Nick Baker traces Ebola back to its wild roots. Combing the tropics of western Africa in search of insights and answers, Baker ventures into the epicentre of an Ebola infestation where hazmat suits are the required attire. He searches for links that may explain the rapid emergence of SARS from a market in China, and in the United States, he meets with survivors of West Nile virus and monkey pox. Along the way, Baker discovers a disturbing reality: the ease and convenience of today's international trade and travel may carry a deadly price: deadly viruses from afar.
