More people have died in disease epidemics than in wars or other disasters, but the process of identifying these diseases and determining how they spread is often a terrifying gamble. Epidemiologists have been ignored, mocked, or silenced all while trying to protect the population and identify “patient zero”—the first person to have contracted the disease, and a key piece in solving the epidemic puzzle. Patient Zero tracks the gripping tales of eight epidemics and pandemics—how they started, how they spread, and the fight to stop them. This revised edition combines a brand-new design with updated information and features diseases such as Spanish Influenza, Ebola, and AIDS, as well as a new chapter on Covid-19."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Epidemics $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Communicable diseases $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869883 650 7 $a Epidemics $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914079 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 776 08 $i Online version: $a Peters, Marilee, 1968- $t Patient zero. $b Updated edition. $d Toronto ; Berkeley : Annick Press, 2021 $z 9781773215129 $z 9781773215129 $w (OCoLC)1192561381 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023850.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022302.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20230325093924.0 952 $l BLPC611 $d 20211125010254.0 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20211002014126.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20210930010458.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210518010412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DECBC06B79E11EB9196081C3CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
