Meet scientists studying animals and the germs that infect them in this full-color nonfiction book with comic-style art.
When a super sickness lands on the land, when a parasite becomes more than a pest, when an infection ignites an epidemic, what’s a body to do? Your body is an animal body, so why not ask the animals?
Follow the scientists, around the world and into their labs, who are studying animals and the pathogens that attack them. From fungus-ridden frogs with fevers to bacteria-resistant buzzards and everything in-between, animals have A LOT to teach us about germs. But—reader beware!!—the story of germs is filled with twists and turns.
In this fascinating, highly visual nonfiction book packed with colorful art, you'll discover not only the cool ways that animal bodies (and our bodies) fight back against pathogens, but also the amazing and surprising ways we can learn to work together with microorganisms.
