Quote from Current (20141002) page:
“INFECTIOUS DOSE: Viral hemorrhagic fevers have an infectious dose of 1 - 10 organisms by aerosol in non-human primates Footnote 41.”

Quote from WayBack page:
“INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 - 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans (21).”

Thanks for the helping hand! I’m a little shaky on attachments.

Interesting about the dates of the quoted references. It looks like the WayBack "primates" reference (1997) was superceded by the more up to date "Humans" reference in 2001. Same group of researchers...changed their minds, I guess.

So, to reduce the scare factor, they went to an earlier quote.
