First, Our pathologist in the Hot Zone was Nancy Jaax.

As a Pathologist her medical


specialty is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the laboratory analysis of bodily
fluids, such as blood and urine, as well as tissues. An average day for a Pathologist usually starts
with a microscope, as she sits there she studies tissues and bodily fluids under the microscope.
She studies the tissues, or bodily fluids for one reason. And that reason is to determine how a
certain disease spreads, or even find its origins. Pathologists often work in a clinic, medical
schools, hospitals, and also military agencies.

Secondly, our Virologist in the Hot Zone is the man named Frederick A. murphy and
had worked for the CDC in the book. And was an extraordinary gift to the med field as he help
identify the marburg virus. And as a Virologist he studied on viruses that infect humans, animals,
bacterial cells and plants. But the area of concentration is usually on virus replication. And
Virologists can work for beverage companies to retain the quality of the beverage, or work in a
laboratory.

Next occupation is our veterinarian In the Hot Zone we find a man named jerry jaax
who worked at the USAMRIID in the book. Virologist usually have the responsibility to treat our
diseased or injured animals, but they can also treat and study on diseases and disorders on
animals. Veterinarian usually work at veterinarian clinics, or go out and go to a farm and help the
animal there if it's too big, or just to sick to move. And in the Hot Zone the veterinarian go and
have the task to diagnose the sick monkeys, and decide the humane thing to do with the
monkeys. And some other daily tasks of a vet are usually to help with cow births, putting down
an animal, or the usual castrating of a male horse. But for the more rare parts of their daily tasks
are diagnosing/treating sick animals, and helping animals with injuries.

Fourthly, our Epidemiologist in the Hot Zone is Karl Johnson who worked in the
C.D.C in the book. Epidemiologist is the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of
health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and

shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease
and targets for preventive healthcare. And to control or stop the spread of
the disease the is out on the loose. Epidemiologist can work at laboratories,
hospitals, and more. Their daily tasks usually consist of finding the cause of a
patient's disease, and then help control or contain the disease.

Lastly, our final occupation in the Hot Zone is the microscopist. The
microscopist in the Hot Zone was a man named Tom Geisbert, who also
worked at the USAMRIID. The job of an Microscopist is probably the most
important. They look at The vast majority of living organisms that are too
small to be seen in any detail with the human eye, with the aid of a
microscope. And investigate the growth, development, and characteristics of
microscopic organisms on a daily basis. Microscopists can work at hospital or
labs to identify if the microscopic organisms is making the patient sick and
then given a proper diagnosis.
