Parasites! - The Ebola Virus (Parasites!)

By Shelley Bueche

Parasites are animals, insects, viruses, and microscopic beings that latch onto, trap, trick, and live off of other living things. This series provides a colorful overview of what these yucky creatures are, how they work, what and why they do what they do. This book examines the frightening Ebola virus beginning with how viruses work, how Ebola invades the human body, documented cases of Ebola throughout the world and finally looks at methods of containment, prevention, and education toward the goal of eliminating the disease caused by the Ebola virus.
