Thank God, somebody finally actually read that CDC paper from 2005. I have been very angered by the wild panic and “they say” rumor-spreading about dogs and Ebola. Yes they can test seropositive for antibodies to Ebola. There is no evidence whatsoever that transmission of Ebola from a dog to a human has ever occurred. Dogs never become symptomatic, they don’t “catch” the disease per se. Asymptomatic means no transmission in other species. Given the evidence from Africa, it means the same in dogs.

Thanks for posting this. If it was spread by dogs you would have seen massive outbreaks in Africa long before this.
