"Emerging diseases form the biggest threats to our future health. Either increasingly resistant to treatment or completely new, these diseases can move from outbreak to epidemic to pandemic with terrifying speed. In this program we are on the trail of the causes, symptoms and treatments of four of the worst: CJD, SARS, Avian Flu and Zoonoses. Featuring input from CSIRO Virology, excellent graphics and clear explanations, this is an up-to-date and engaging look at the transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of these diseases."--Container.
