[net.sf-lovers] sf book name

One more question..... I had heard of a book with the following storyline (or
close to it). If anyone has the name of the book, or the author, or both,
please let me know.

   A mysterious disease of epidemic proportions has spread around the world.
   Only a few people are immune. A man takes his family into the wilderness
   of Canada to try to save them, but after awhile, his family gets the disease
   and he is the only survivor. He travels south through the US looking for
   other survivors and is tracked by Soviet agents trying to find an antidote.
   They feel they can get one by studying the survivors (or something like
   that).

I'm not sure if that is the exact storyline I was told (over 5 years ago) but
it is fairly close. I've been looking for the book for a while now but no-one
seems to recognize the story line so I haven't been able to locate it. Any
clues? Please don't flame me if this is an obvious story, I think I'll have
enough from the last message I posted (Silent Running).
thanks again
