'The Web of Fear' by Gerry Davis

What appears to be a flu epidemic breaks out at an exclusive health clinic on the Scilly Isles. After the islands are sealed off from visitors, Doomwatch is granted permission to investigate, but Quist’s team soon discovers that the illness is actually an outbreak of Yellow Fever. It seems that an experiment into Yellow Fever vaccines has gone wildly out of control, and hundreds of spiders are now carrying the deadly disease…
