Book Description
IT STRIKES WITHOUT WARNING--A HORRIFYING, LETHAL DISEASE WITH NO NAME. AND NO CURE. . . .
Now, from the molten center of the "hot zone," comes a terrifying, completely authentic novel of medical suspense by William T. Close, M.D., the American physician who lived in Zaire for sixteen years, and who worked desperately to contain the first outbreak of the virus in 1976. Haunted by the images from this wrenching time, and unable to forget the people he knew and lost, Dr. Close was compelled to tell their story. EBOLA, inspired by his personal experience and based upon extensive research, is an unforgettable portrait of this devastating drama, which all began with an invisible, unknown killer . . . .
EBOLA
At a Catholic mission in Yambuku, a remote area of Zaire, Mabalo Lokela, a local teacher, visits the clinic with a raging fever. Sister Lucie, a Flemish nun and nurse, gives him a shot of an anti-malarial drug, wipes off the syringe, and awaits her next patient. Within days, Mabolo is dead. Soon after, others become ill and die. Less than three weeks later, Sister Lucie, too, is dead. As panic erupts and the villagers flee from the sickness . . . as the roads leading out of Yambuku are blocked and the dying are turned away . . . as the single radio connecting the village to the outside world brings only bad news, the valiant nuns and medical personnel left behind at the mission can only pray and wonder: will the world ever hear their plea for help?
And always there is the virus, from which there is no escape . . . . ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Documentary style Book
One of the most educational and eye opening books that I have ever read. I love this book and it is the reason i started buying other virus books. It really opened my eyes up to the terror that is truely out in the world that is put there by mother nature. Sometimes difficult to follow, but a facinating subject from a Dr. who was in the thick of the outbreak. Very good book with an objective for everyone to think about viruses like this.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Even Victor eats roaches yearly, so, I needed goats loving ewes doing almost yelling come here under caves kiting every lowly beast. Enough limits took all kin, even sewing artwork lesson almost reaching gave each boy limits. All candy kiting carries over coming knife in niches. Harold inside safe, almost stuck silly.

3-0 out of 5 stars More about the people than the virus
Ebola, by William T. Close, M.D., is a moderately dramatized account of the first outbreak of the Ebola virus in Zaire in 1976. The book's cover and introduction make it a point to inform you that Dr. Close was there to witness the outbreak firsthand and "worked desperately to contain the first outbreak of the virus", but the book is written in the third person and Dr. Close never makes an appearance. It's clear that he changed the names of the other people involved, but why change his own name in a book he's writing? Strange.

Also somewhat strange is the fact that the word "Ebola" never appears in the main narrative. This is understandable given the book's focus on the characters rather than on the virus, but since the book's title is Ebola, I was expecting a little more information on the virus itself. Close's choice to focus on the characters rather than the virus is at times a good thing and at times perplexing.

The story begins slowly, establishing the look and feel of the village of Yambuku, its people, and the Flemish nuns running the mission there. As the first victims of the virus begin to appear, the foreshadowing gets a little ham-fisted. It almost feels like Close is intentionally portraying the nuns as unconcerned and even careless merely for the sake of adding to the suspense.

After the first hundred pages or so, things finally start to pick up and the really interesting stuff begins. The dedication of the nuns in caring for the victims under some of the harshest conditions imaginable, even as they themselves begin to contract the virus, is touching, and it's what makes the book worth reading.

Unfortunately, while the middle of the book is gripping and generally well written, the last third goes completely off track. When two doctors from the WHO finally arrive at Yambuku, the virus has already killed hundreds of villagers and is beginning to burn itself out. Without the constant influx of Ebola victims, the author seems to lose his bearing, and the story inexplicably shifts its focus to a schoolboy crush one of the doctors (who is married) has developed on one of the nuns. It's so awkward it's almost creepy at parts. After this confusing twist is resolved, the book just keeps on going for no discernable reason, following the nun as she flees Yambuku when it seems like the virus might reappear. Nothing interesting happens to the nun, the virus doesn't return, and the book just ends, having strung you along for the last hundred pages or so for no real reason.

There's another creepy thing about this book, and that's the author's apparent fascination with breasts. He describes them at every possible opportunity, often in unnecessary detail. The reader is kept constantly aware of the statuses of the breasts of nearly every female character, villagers and nuns alike. At one point we're even forced to read a description of the teats of one of the village's mangy dogs. I like breasts as much as the next man, but Close seems to think (and write) about them far more than is warranted, especially for a story primarily about Flemish nuns.

On the whole, while I wasn't crazy about it, the book did tell a compelling story. I think a better author could have made it even more compelling, but since Dr. Close was apparently there, he'll have to do. However, if you're looking for technical descriptions of Ebola, its effects, and its treatment, look somewhere else. This is a book about villagers and nuns and how they dealt with an outbreak; it's not a book about Ebola.

5-0 out of 5 stars Ebola!
I loved this book! It was a brilliant mix of emotion and a medical thriller-I really liked all of the characters, and it was very interesting. Definitley one of my favorites.

Editorial Review

Book Description
Electron microscopy has a special place among the wide range of techniques available for viral research. With electron microscopy, a virologist can follow the course of viral infections by visualizing cell damage and viral replication. Each virus family has its own structural and functional attributes, but attention is usually focused on the pathogenic and health-threatening viruses. The Ebola and Marburg filoviruses are notorious among these.

In Ebola and Marburg Viruses: A View of Infection Using Electron Microscopy, the authors combine recent published and unpublished literature with insights developed in over 30 years in electron microscopy and 15 years in virology to tell the story of filoviruses and how they invade and conquer their hosts. The book describes the dynamic properties of these viruses and follows the stages of filoviral infection from the individual cell to the whole organism, constructing the sequential events of filoviral infections.

The book also demonstrates that, rather than a curiosity, the electron microscope is an integral tool in studies of viral infection and the pathological process. Ebola and Marburg Viruses: A View of Infection Using Electron Microscopy includes over 100 outstanding micrographs of filoviruses and the cell and tissue damage they cause during infection, as well as time course studies of Marburg infection in test animals.

The book is addressed to investigators in the widely diversified fields of medicine and biology. For this reason, the authors, Dr. Elena Ryabchikova and Dr. Barbara Price, have carefully elucidated concepts familiar to virologists that may be unfamiliar to nonvirologists. The book is also designed to provide opportunities for investigators specializing in viruses to correlate their findings with the work of electron microscopists. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Fishy
I didn't like this book.For one thing, if it were non-fiction, then why all the dialogue between him and his wife, which was more or less fiction, since who could remember that kind of detail all that time?

For another, there were significant omissions, like the biowarfare lab on Plum Island in New York, lyme disease, West Nile, mycoplasma, Royal Rife, Morgellon's, and a host of others.Not to mention the more convincing evidence that AIDS is from swine not cattle.

He also totally mis-understood milieu interior, which doesn't refer to political climate but the health of the host, affecting whether or not he will catch any illness he is exposed to, which was huge in the history of vaccine development.

Finally there is very convincing evidence that prion disease is environmental - copper deficiency in the face of manganese poisoning, which has been known since Andre Voisin wrote "Soil, Grass, and Cancer".

1-0 out of 5 stars Nice theory, too bad the sequence analyses of viral samples prove it wrong
Please read the science on this subject before becoming a "true believer" in this theory.Detailed study of the sequences of simian immunodeficiency viruses from many species of monkeys and chimps, compared to the sequences of viral samples from humans with HIV-1 or HIV-2 clearly show that Horowitz's theory is not consistent with the data.When in doubt I suggest going with the facts not speculation.

When a theory does not match the data - move on.

A good start point to enter the scientific literature is a review article "AIDS as a Zoonosis: Scientific and Public Health Implications", Hahn BH, Shaw GM, De Cock KM, Sharp PM, published in Science, 28 January 2000, Vol 287:607-614.Just go to the National Library of Medicine website at www.pubmed.gov and enterHahn BH, Shaw GM, De Cock KM, Sharp PMthen click on related articles to access the scientific literature.

4-0 out of 5 stars How to easily prove the critics wrong
Interestingly, the bad reviewers of this book have only convinced me of its accuracy. None of their criticisms strike me as being sound. A few of them criticize the book for scaring people, to which I would say that I only wish back in 1932, during my lifetime, someone would have, in a similar fashion, scared people about the Tuskegee Experiment. I also wish back in the 1700s someone would have scared the native americans before the British deliberately distributed smallpox infected blankets to them, killing off half of the tribes!

As to the argument that man did not know how to create the ebola virus in the 50s, the critics are not appropriately answering the scenarios raised by Dr. Horowitz. Specifically, Dr, Horowitz spends a great deal of time discussing the possiblities of:

1) Careless "professionals" allowing contamination from existing virus samples.

2) An existing virus, from one host, from which another host becomes infected, with the result being that the virus mutates in the new host to a variation of the original virus, a mutated virus for which not only can we not create, we also don't have a cure for (as in the case of AIDS).

3) A criminally misguided government official, someone such as, say, a Henry Kissinger who we know touted the the benefits of population control, who might have sent signals to outfits such as the CIA whose job it is to be paranoid to the extreme and who could obtain funding for top secret virus research for which the "experts" writing reviews here would know none of the details of what man was, or was not, capable of creating in a lab.

This is a must read for any sane person who recognizes the foolishness of sticking your head in the sand to avoid seeing the lion charging at your butt.

5-0 out of 5 stars If you wantto know why the goverment does this read on...
I applaud the courage of Leonard Horowitz in exposing the truth about what the government has been up to for a long time.As a researcher I have uncovered many things that are almost too ugly to be believed.There are those out there wondering why anyone inside the government or out would do such hideous things.I strongly recommend the readers of this review to read the book "Bringers of the Dawn" by Barbara Marciniak.This book may also be hard to believe but the pieces of the puzzle will come together when you read this book.But hang on to your seats.If you also purchase the book "Power vs. Force" by Dr. David Hawkins, you will find a technique that will show you how to prove or disprove anything in either of the above books (or anything else for that matter).The answers are out there.We just have to keep searching.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not a conspiracy at all
In fact, the evidence is out there and you just need to look for it and put it all together......Horowitz has done all the hard work for you making this reading hard to put down even for a minute.
Not surprised at all at WHO involvement and coverups...and pretty much sits with the Global 2000 agenda signed off by Vance and Co....

The dramatic and chilling story of an Ebola virus outbreak in a surburban Washington, D.C. laboratory, with descriptions of frightening historical epidemics of rare and lethal viruses. More hair-raising than anything Hollywood could think of, because it's all true.Book Description
A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the
appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.

3-0 out of 5 stars The Hot Zone
The Hot Zone by Richard Preston really opens the readers eyes to another world that we really do not know or do not want to know about.The first part of the book is gripping and you can't help but feeling for these people who are suffering.Knowing that this was based on truth, I felt a great sense of relief when characters survived or weren't exposed to the filovirus.When a flask was smelled in the lab, not knowing what it contained, I wanted to stop the people.Preston did a good job of letting you know who these folks were so that you did care about them.The end of the book leaves you hanging which can't be helped.There are no answers.Where did the virus come from?How does it travel?When will it hit next?Hopefully, Preston is not given a reason to write part II of The Hot Zone.

I have five children, a husband, a dog, a cat, am taking college classes with people over twenty years younger than myself and it it's not a textbook or a glance at the local newspaper then I don't have time to read it. So, it was a great treat to have an assingment in my Microbiology class be to read a book in reference to microbes or viruses.I wouldn't have taken the time to read this book but I am really glad I did!

5-0 out of 5 stars NON-FICTION MEDICAL THRILLER...
This is a non-fiction book that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, compulsively turning the pages. In it the author gives an education on the possible origins of different deadly hemorrhagic viruses and the devastation that they cause in both animals and humans. The author describes actual outbreaks that occurred between 1967 and 1993.This is done in an engaging, straightforward narrative that reads like a medical thriller.

The nucleus of the story focuses on an outbreak of Ebola virus in Reston, Virginia in the tony county of Fairfax, just outside of Washington, D.C. in 1983. A special, highly trained teamed of Army specialists and scientists secretly converged on that hot spot to try and stop the spread of this deadly virus, as it had a kill rate of ninety percent.

The account that the author gives of the Army's mission is riveting, as is the vivid description of the rain forests and caves of Africa where these hemorrhagic viruses are suspected of originating.The devastation these viruses cause to both animals and humans is horrifying, shocking, and, unfortunately, all too true. The author has managed to make science accessible to the general public and eminently readable. Bravo!

5-0 out of 5 stars Terrifyingly Spectacular
I read this book probably 8 years ago - it is an absolutely, positively fascinating read. Few nonfiction books can send the chills down the spine like this little gem Preston has penned. Simply fabulous.

5-0 out of 5 stars Who would've thought reality can be so frightening?
I was truly *terrified* reading this book.I was literally sick to my stomach reading about the unfortunate infected people, particularly Charles Monet. The young soldiers enlisted to clean out the monkeys from the building was particularly harrowing, as was Nancy Jaax's near contamination incident.

Yes, it's sensationalistic and the gruesome details are over-the-top.But I couldn't put the book down.I found it engrossing and entertaining, although I was somewhat nauseous most of the time reading it.

5-0 out of 5 stars A hellish ride into the life of a truly terrifying virus
The Hot Zone is a superbly-written story describing the history of Ebola andthe near-miss that could have triggered a pandemic that rivals the spread of HIV.Richard Preston breathes life into this story and his depictions of Ebola's travels through Africa and eventually into the United States will keep readers on the edge of their seat.I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it.A word of warning: this is not a book to read if you have so much as a sniffle. ...

Book Description
At a Catholic Mission in Yambuku, an oasis of peace and efficiency in northern Congo's vast jungle forests, Mabalo Lokela, a teacher, receives an anti-malarial shot for a raging fever and headache. Sister Lucie, a Flemish nursing sister, swishes out a syringe with a weak disinfectant. The next patients are injected with the same syringe and the sick man's virus spreads.

Lokela was the first Congolese victim of a new African hemorrhagic disease that became known as Ebola fever. When Sister Lucie dies a few days later, panic erupts and hospitalized patients flee into the forest. With the convent connected to the outside world by a single primitive radio, the mission nuns can only pray and wonder if anyone will act on their cries for help. ... Read more

This is a really good book.It keeps you coming back for more without being too intense.It nicely describes the horrible nature of the epidemic without too many of the horrific details.By the end I felt like I knew the characters.
This is a really good, really well written book.

5-0 out of 5 stars An eloquent, gripping, chilling account
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a deadly virus currently spreading from Gabon to the Republic of the Congo. Unfortunately, it today's world of international transportation and air travel, Ebola outbreaks offer very real risks of being spread quickly to virtually any part of the world (including the United States) is just a matter of hours. William Close draws upon his more than 16 years in Africa (he became personal physician to the President of Congo and chief doctor to the Congolese Army) and his expertise with respect to Ebola to provide an eloquent, gripping, chilling account of the doctors, nurses and victims affected by the Ebola virus in the Catholic mission and surrounding villages now the focus of teams of international doctors and scientists trying to understand and contain the latest lethal outbreak. Ebola: Through The Eyes Of The People is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the Ebola threat, both realized and potential, and its status as a modern day plague with horrific potential.

Book Description
In this case study, readers will embark on an improbable journey through the heart of Africa to discover how indigenous people cope with the rapid-killing Ebola virus. The Hewletts are the first anthropologists ever invited by the World Health Organization to join a medical intervention team and assist in efforts to control an Ebola outbreak. Their account addresses political, structural, psychological, and cultural factors, along with conventional intervention protocols as problematic to achieving medical objectives. They find obvious historical and cultural answers to otherwise-puzzling questions about why village people often flee, refuse to cooperate, and sometimes physically attack members of intervention teams. Perhaps surprisingly, readers will discover how some cultural practices of local people are helpful and should be incorporated into control procedures. The authors shed new light on a continuing debate about the motivation for human behavior by showing how local responses to epidemics are rooted both in culture and in human nature. Well-supported recommendations emerge from a comparative analysis of Central African cases and pandemics worldwide to suggest how the United States and other countries might use anthropologists and the insights of anthropologists to mount more effective public health campaigns, with particular attention to avian flu and bioterrorism. ...

Book Description
Marburg and Ebola virus, the two species within the family Filoviridae, are among the most pathogenic agents causing fulminant hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. The chronology of filovirus epidemics and epizootics proves that these viruses are prototypes of emerging/re-emerging pathogens. Since the discovery of Marburg virus in 1967 until the recent Ebola virus outbreaks in Central and West Africa filoviruses have not only raised the interest of scientists, but have also been a matter of high public concern. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology our knowledge on the genome structure and the replication strategies of these agents has significantly increased. This volumes gives an overview on many aspects of filovirus research and summarizes recent advances in the field. The topics addressed include the molecular biology of filoviruses, pathogenesis, epidemiology, immune response, as well as clinical aspects and diagnostic measures. ... Read more
