Maxim Lazarev Ms. Shipp English 12, B5 13 January 2015 Logical Appeals Overpower the Feels Richard Preston used his work, Hot Zone, as a medium to appeal to an audience by using logic and reason through the facts and information he presents in the novel. Logos is what was primarily used in this nonfiction piece of literature. In the first part of the novel Preston talks about how deadly Ebola really is. He gives many anecdotes from people who have studied the virus and its effects. One of them was Gene Johnson, who was mentioned in this quote: “All of Gene Johnson’s infected monkeys died no matter what drugs they were given.
In eradicating smallpox, strategies such as ring vaccination and herd immunity were implemented, preventing each outbreak from spreading. Government policies such as mandatory vaccinations and strict quarantine contributed greatly to the success of vaccination programs against smallpox. By 1975, smallpox had been eradicated with the exception of Africa. An intensive containment and vaccination program was employed and was successful with global eradication of smallpox being declared by the World Health Assembly in 1980. Diphtheria, an infectious disease communicable through coughing and sneezing, is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
The Hot Zone tells a dramatic, chilling and realistic story of an Ebola virus outbreak! It occurs in a monkey storage warehouse in a suburban Washington D. C. laboratory in 1989. Monkeys were being used in scientific experiments because they were most similar to humans and the virus couldn’t tell the difference. This then, allows the lab to become a ‘hot zone’. He becomes very interested in how the viruses work and their symptoms that appear in human beings.

Edward Jenner, clipart courtesy FCIT Louis Pasteur’s experiments spearheaded the development of live attenuated cholera vaccine and inactivated anthrax vaccine in humans (1897 and 1904, respectively). Plague vaccine was also invented in the late 19th Century. Between 1890 and 1950, bacterial vaccine development proliferated, including the Bacillis-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination, which is still in use today. In 1923, Alexander Glenny perfected a method to inactivate tetanus toxin with formaldehyde.
