«Virus zona zero» is the popular science essay by Ed Regis, published by Sperling & Kupfer in paperback (240 pages, in Italian).
It tells the story of the CDC in Atlanta, founded in the 1940s to eradicate malaria and turned into the world's leading agency against epidemics. It follows its teams in real outbreaks such as Ebola in Kikwit (1995), Lassa fever, legionellosis, hantavirus and Marburg virus, with thriller pacing and scientific rigour.
The Italian edition, part of Sperling & Kupfer's Scienza collection, has the subtitle: «Un'equipe di scienziati in prima linea contro le nuove minacce alla sopravvivenza dell'umanità».
For readers of popular science and real-life epidemic stories seeking a documented account with thriller pacing.
