    Ebola Virus In The Hot Zone

    The #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Hot Zone, written by Richard Preston works with its main goal of educating society on the disturbing topic of the Ebola virus. It attempts and adequately completes its goal to reveal the terrifying truth of the origins of this deadly virus to the whole of society. It is due to the fact that the Ebola Virus is both highly deadly as well as an infectious disease that it comes as no surprise that it is classified as an exotic “hot” virus. While the book takes place in and discusses many different places, the book’s main focus is on the continent of Africa, and the outbreaks that occur there. The first known outbreak of the Ebola Virus was located in a Central African rainforest, when Charles Monet, A Frenchman, was living there. It was…

    Hot Zone

    In the late 1900s there were these unknown diseases that were making people die out of nowhere. This made people all around frightened to their wits. No one knew a cure for it or where it originated from. A disease known as Marburg which was first thought to be found in a guy named Charles Monet, caused him to have massive hemorrhages and clotting. This was a deadly disease which could be caught by the person who has it by as easily as it seeping through an open wound. Marburg is a filovirus which can be comprised with two types of viruses called Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan. Ebola Zaire is the worst out of the three, killing nine out of ten humans who have it. An incident occurred in Reston, Virginia where monkeys were being transported from the Philippines to a monkey house. Some of the monkeys started to drop dead for some unknown reason, so Dan Dalgard, the veterinarian who cared for the monkeys, contacted the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) to help diagnose the case. Dr. Peter Jahlring, who was a part of the USAMRIID institute, tested the blood of the monkeys. To his horror it came up positive for Ebola Zaire, the deadliest of the strains of Ebola. This caused a panic in him of which he rushed to his head leader and told him about it. No one wanted an outbreak to happen of Ebola Zaire so the C.D.C. and the army banded together to try and stop this horrific disease from spreading. Dalgard turned the monkey house over to them in which they terminated all the monkeys and bleached and scrubbed…

    Short And Long Term Effects Of The Black Plague

    The Black Plague killed more than 20 million people that was about one-third of the population in Europe at that time. During the late 1340’s in Europe, 12 trading ships arrived at a port after a long journey through the Black Sea. The people who gathered on the docks to welcome the ships were met with a horrifying surprise: most of the sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those who were still alive were very ill. Strangest of all, they were covered in mysterious black blisters that oozed blood and pus and gave their illness its name the “Black Death”.…

    The Black Plague: Most Devastating Pandemics In Human History

    One of the most devastating pandemics in human history was The Black Death. It killed over 200 million people during the seven years from 1346 to 1353.

The Black Death actually arrived in ships with sailors that were sick, had fever, unable to keep food down and had really bad pain but the scariest of them all was their body were covered with mysterious black boils that oozed out blood and pus. Before messina had the ship filled with dead and sick sailors, europeans heard a rumor called the “Great Pestilence,” which were carvings on a deadly path across the trade routes between the Near and Far East.
