Scary as SARS itself is, the disease is also a warning of many possible such outbreaks to come. Featuring the disturbing story of SARS-where it came from, what it is, and how to protect yourself from it-as well as those of many other recently evolved deadly scourges, The New Killer Diseases is a shocking call to arms. All around us-in our homes, workplaces, and public spaces-bacteria and viruses are evolving at a feverish rate, and our best defenses against them are in danger of being overwhelmed. The threat posed by emerging infectious diseases is as formidable as any challenge the human race has ever faced, and the evolutionary scales may be tipping in favor of the microbes. 650 0 $a Drug resistance in microorganisms $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $v Popular works. 650 12 $a Communicable Diseases, Emerging $v Popular Works. 650 22 $a Disease Outbreaks $v Popular Works. 650 22 $a Drug Resistance, Microbial $v Popular Works. 650 6 $a Micro-organismes $x ReÌsistance aux meÌdicaments $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 650 6 $a Maladies infectieuses $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 700 1 $a Fischetti, Mark. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random051/2002155925.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random045/2002155925.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random0413/2002155925.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy038/2002155925.html 941 $a 9 952 $l NKPD993 $d 20201013100736.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926083112.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820055050.0 952 $l XWPC787 $d 20101009021318.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l YQPB532 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=025781202B0411DE8B76D107A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
