Only one part I disagree with:
“Although the Ebola virus was generally thought of as being spread through direct contact with bodily fluids, a 2012 experiment, which reported that macaques (primates) contracted Ebola from piglets inoculated oro-nasally with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus (EBOV), while caged in the same room without physical contact, cannot be explained.”
Um, sure it can. That strain went airborne.
And... the current outbreak is Ebola Zaire...
ZEBOV transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact
It was Ebola Zaire, too - the worst of the Ebolas & what is now going around Africa.

The 5th graph is the really interesting one.
It’s definitely drifted since we first encountered it in Zaire. Who knows what tricks it’s picked up since then.
No. Droplet transmission. That is similar to airborne, but not quite the same.
The virus causes rhinitis in pigs, and they sneeze constantly, causing heavy contamination of their environment. An organism (like C. difficile, for example) that is spread by the host contaminating the environment is not traditionally called “airborne”.
