Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause often fatal hemorrhagic fever in several species of simian primates including human. While fruit bats are considered natural reservoir, involvement of other species in EBOV transmission is unclear. In 2009, Reston-EBOV was the first EBOV detected in swine with indicated transmission to humans. In-contact transmission of Zaire-EBOV (ZEBOV) between pigs was demonstrated experimentally. Here we show ZEBOV transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact. Interestingly, transmission between macaques in similar housing conditions was never observed. Piglets inoculated oro-nasally with ZEBOV were transferred to the room housing macaques in an open inaccessible cage system. All macaques became infected. Infectious virus was detected in oro-nasal swabs of piglets, and in blood, swabs, and tissues of macaques. This is the first report of experimental interspecies virus transmission, with the macaques also used as a human surrogate. Our finding may influence prevention and control measures during EBOV outbreaks.

Did the Russians weaponize it and give it to the ROP?

Compare and contrast with the doctor's remarks in NYC from the ping immediately prior to this one.

Reston scared the hell out of a lot of people in the know at that time...nature can be a bitch sometimes...then again, man can be an idiot that plays with the fire he created!...and get’s burned badly...

Here in the Philippines, Ebola reston was found in local pigs, and several who worked with the pigs tested positive, although they either didn't get sick or got mild flu like symptoms. Ebola reston kills monkeys but not pigs or humans.

Good posts, good info. So...24-48 hours for test results.

Big pretentious op-ed in the WSJ today saying we don’t have to worry because ebola is not airborne. How much damage did they cause by printing this?
