First, a horse in Brisbane falls ill: fever, swelling, bloody froth. Then thirteen others drop dead. The foreman at the stables becomes ill and the trainer dies. This title tracks these infections to their source and asks what we can do to prevent some new pandemic spreading across the face of the earth.
A gripping and timely book about the transmission of highly dangerous diseases from animal to human populations. 'A frightening and fascinating masterpiece of science reporting that reads like a detective story' Walter Isaacson
