Title: Ebola in the Air
This article is about the ebola virus and how its spreads throughout the world. The ebola virus is a deadly virus that some monkeys carry. It can spread from the air. It first went from pigs to monkeys and killed 1,500 people. Scientists experimented, they put 6 infected piglets in a room with monkeys and they were all seperated so they were not touching but the ebola virus infected them anyway. So thats how they know it travels through the air. This virus causes high fevers and deadly bleeding disorders. It is most likely fatal, if you catch it you are probably going to die.
The author wants me to know what th ebola virus s and what it is capable of and the symptoms. I think it is best to keep your distances from any certain kinds of pig and monkeys because this is a very serious virus and if you get it you will mst likely die and they dint have a cure for it yet. The author tells us what experiments scientists use to find out how the virus is spread and the symptoms.
