Patient zero : a curious history of the world's worst diseases / Lydia Kang, MD, Nate Pedersen. by Kang, Lydia, author. New York : Workman Publishing, [2021] Subjects Epidemics -- History.   Emerging infectious diseases -- History. ISBN:  9781523513291 (paper over board : hardback) : 1523513292 (paper over board : hardback)) Description:  x, 390 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 23 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  "From the masters of storytelling-meets-science and co-authors of Quackery, Patient Zero tells the long and fascinating history of disease outbreaks-how they start, how they spread, the science that lets us understand them, and how we race to destroy them before they destroy us.

Learn the tragic stories of Patient Zeros throughout history, such as Mabalo Lokela, who contracted Ebola while on vacation in 1976, and the Lewis Baby on London's Broad Street, the first to catch cholera in an 1854 outbreak that led to a major medical breakthrough. Interspersed are origin stories of a different sort-how a rye fungus in 1951 turned a small village in France into a phantasmagoric scene reminiscent of Burning Man. Plus the uneasy history of human autopsy, how the HIV virus has been with us for at least a century, and more"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 614.49 Ka Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Kang Checked out 05/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 614.49 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
