The Hot Zone Questions 1, 2, 3

1] I thought the book The Hot Zone was very interesting. I liked the fact that the book was very detailed and explained everything clearly. Some parts of the book was very gruesome, other then that it was a great book. I think we had to read the book before taking AP Biology because it went into dept about a variety of viruses.

2] a. A virus never really dies. Once the host is dead the virus finds a new host to live and infect.

b. A virus can spread through bodily fluids and through infected air.

c. Once you become infected with a virus you don't know you have it till three to seven days later.

3] The article is relevant to the story in The Hot Zone because they both talk about how a virus spreads and how the virus affects and spreads through monkeys. The article and the book talk about how Ebola started and the origin of the virus.
