Patient Zero: The origins of disease
"Dr Sara Baker was sent to Mary Mallon's house, as it was felt that a female doctor may be more persuasive than a male. After being refused again, Dr Baker went to Mary's workplace with police officers, and had her arrested. Mary was tested, deemed to be a carrier, and placed in isolation on North Brother Island."

HIV's 'Patient Zero' Wrongly Blamed for AIDS Epidemic
"As the scientists conducted patient interviews to reconstruct their social network and trace the infection -- not yet known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS -- back to it source, one man in particular came up repeatedly: Gaetan Dugas."

These Three Diseases Could Be the Next Global Epidemic
"With the world still reeling from outbreaks of deadly Ebola and baby-deforming Zika, governments and charities launched a $460-million (431 million-euro) initiative to 'outsmart' infectious epidemics."

Who else came here just to find out who Patient Zero is?

Does this mean we will never find Troll Zero, the first person who ever posted something negative on the internet?

The AIDS infected Canadian flight attended in question was not the origin of the disease in America, but he was the origin of the term "patient zero". On the original chart, he was given a letter designation, "O". I forget what that stoof for, perhaps "other" because he didn't fit neatly within the NYC and SF clusters, but did travel between them. The letter was misread when the story came out and the narrative was used as spin, which helped the recognition of the epidemic, but unfortunately did so at the expense of this one man and also the truth about how the disease spread in America.

My favorite show about the spread of infection would have to be Containment on Netflix.

Outbreak (1995) by Wolfgang Petersen. Excellent film loosely based on Richard Preston's book The Hot Zone, which was about an incident that occurred in my home town! Yay!

Being patient zero has to suck especially if your still alive when the disease becomes so widespread and now everyone knows who you for all the wrong reasons.

Once people believed indexing the Web would be an impossible task, NCSA Mosaic had the Website of the Day. Then a couple college kids tried really hard to just do some of it, other people started trying and in reality it became something inbetween. PZeo is like that, a useful Number that has no real meaning, but acts as a place holder.. a framework for building all sorts of frameworks that help us cope

you mention prevent the spread. how about curing it? does it mean that patient zero is still important to find the cure faster and develop it?
