      Introducing Deadliest Enemy

      Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs' was first published in the year 2017. In the first edition, the authors had spoken about the then dangerous outbreaks that had claimed several lives. They talk about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Zika outbreak that engulfed Pacific islands along with America, the 2002 SARS epidemic, 2009 H1N1, and the 2012 MERS.

The 2020 edition adds the deadly COVID-19 virus to the list, which is wreaking havoc and has already led to severe fatalities.
