What reading level is A Planet of Viruses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scientists discovered viruses in the nineteenth century, and by the beginning of the twentieth, they had learned a few important things about them. They knew that viruses were infectious agents of unimaginably small size. They had begun to assign certain diseases, such as tobacco mosaic disease or rabies, to certain viruses. But the young science of virology was still parochial. It focused mainly on the viruses that worried people most: the ones that infect humans or the ones that infect the cro...ps and livestock we raise for food. Virologists rarely looked beyond our little circle of experience.
A clue to the true scope of viruses came in the middle of World War I. French soldiers were dying in droves, killed not just by Germans but also by bacteria. The microbes invaded their torn flesh, their food, and their drinking water. Their path was made easier by the worldwide flu epidemic in 1918. The flu weakened the defenses of its victims, allowing bacteria to infect their lungs.
