it is one of the very few books i have in paperback to read as well as hardback to make my library look better than it really is.

ISBN 0-385-40631-2

" ebola kills a great deal of tissue while the host is still alive... the liver bulges and turns yellow, begins to liquefy and then it cracks apart; the cracks run across it and it completely dies and goes putrid.
as the kidneys fail, the blood becomes toxic with urine; the spleen becomes a single, huge, hard clot the size of a baseball... in men, the testicles become blue. the semen is hot with Ebola. in women, the nipples bleed, the labia are blue, livid and protrusive; in pregnant women, the virus is a catastrophe. the foetus is aborted spontaneously, born with red eyes and a bloody nose.
Ebola destroys the brain... thoroughly. the whole body twitches with horrible convulsions and shakes, the arms and legs thrash around, the eyes, streaming with blood, roll up into the head.
the epilectic thrashng is perhaps one of Ebola's strategies for success: it makes the victim go into flurries of seizures as he dies; spreading poisoned blood all over the place, thus giving the virus a chance to leap to a new host."
