Dogs can carry Ebola and spread it while not getting sick themselves.

Farm rules...put down the terminal animal.

farm rules I understand. But what could we have learned from the dog's antibodies if this is a virulent strai? I read about the pig/monkey experiment but not sure if we've studied dogs?

Ok, that right there is a terrifying prospect. I wonder if any strays lucked the vomit off the sidewalk in Dallas. Dogs carrying Ebola would be nearly impossible to control outside of massive culling efforts. I’m not a dog person but I would hate to see that happen. And yet, if it didn’t, and the virus got into a large population of dogs...
