As we have repetitively learned with this administration, definitions vary depending upon the spin sought. While not currently considered to be transmitted through the air, I fail to see how vectors, notably the mosquito and its cousins, cannot constitute the means for virus transmission. The mosquito deposits its saliva on the skin of the host initially, and upon selecting a suitable location, inserts its seven mouth parts. Malaria is so transmitted, is it not? So, please tell me, what precludes transmission of a virus to the host, be that Ebola or any number of the filovrii?
Malaria is a plasmodium. I have no idea if mosquito saliva transmits the virus. I know that human saliva contains virus from the studies I read, but we are very different from mosquitoes.
