I just raised this question on the ebola surveillance thread.

This strain/clade of Ebola is different enough that a fully autopsy needs to be performed with as many tissue samples taken as possible to ascertain the full effects on the body.
So far as we know, no serious autopsy has been done on any of the West African victims. Hell, they had problems keeping blood samples properly chilled in transit to CDC Atlanta and German labs.
There is so much that is unknown about this damn virus it would be criminal to pass this opportunity up.

Unless CDC or the BH people already know it from top to bottom and it’s not a mystery to them.
