Synopsis

NY Times bestselling author Joseph Alton, MD provides a doctor's perspective to the Zika Virus in his latest book, "The Zika Virus Handbook: A doctor tells you all you need to know about the pandemic". Zika virus is an infectious disease that has reached pandemic status after crossing the Atlantic. The World Health Organization expects up to four million cases in this hemisphere and researchers have linked Zika to birth deformities in newborns and significant neurological disease. Written in plain English, "The Zika Virus Handbook" explains all you need to know about the epidemic in a calm, no-nonsense fashion. The book gives a solid plan of action for Zika protection that can be easily followed in a concise guide. All this from a physician that has decades of experience as an obstetrician, and who is a well-known writer on medical preparedness. The book also outlines other pandemic diseases, past and present, and discusses way to control the Aedes mosquito, which transmits the disease through its bite. Like many pandemic diseases, many controversial theories abound about why Zika has become a threat, and you'll find these and commentary on their plausibility in "The Zika Virus Handbook". Dr. Alton also has written on other epidemic diseases, such as Ebola, and is a regular contributor to various magazines. His website at www.doomandbloom.net is a respected source for information on disaster/epidemic medical preparedness. Dr. Alton is the co-author of the 3-category #1 Amazon bestseller "The Survival Medicine Handbook: THE essential guide for when medical help is NOT on the way", now in its third edition.
