They should also include pig ebola, which has killed 1/5th of the world pork supply since Spring.

Not to minimize the severity of the pig virus, but African Swine Fever is caused by a virus that is completely unrelated to the Ebolavirus. Technically, Ebolavirus is a single stranded RNA filovirus, while the swine fever is a double stranded DNA asfarvirus. So it would be completely incorrect to call the swine virus "Ebola."

So far, it does not seem that the pig virus affects humans. It is just a threat to our food supply.

pig ebola (African Swine Fever) is Reston virus (RESTV) and is one of five known viruses within the genus Ebolavirus. It was first seen in 1990 in Reston Virginia in a group of monkeys purchased for medical testing.
