Synopsis:
The Cobra Event is a 1998 thriller novel by Richard Preston describing a terror attempt on the United States by a lone man, the creator of a virus, called ”Cobra”, that mixes the incurable common cold with one of the world’s most deadly diseases, smallpox. The disease that results from the virus, called brainpox in the novel, has effects that mimic those of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus. The virus is a Biosafety Level 4 hot agent, because it is lethal to humans, is highly transmittable to humans by aerosol, and has no vaccine or cure.
