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.

评分好奇令人失眠。如果你想晚上睡个好觉的话,就不要去找相关的案例,因为难免夹杂着看到一些人体的病例。下面是相对不吓人的电子显微镜摄影,【染色的病毒仍然有点惊悚,请做好心理建设再往下滑】。 扎伊尔埃博拉病毒抗原的位置由红色斑点指示。图片中心的大卵球形结构是感染埃博...
