Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates

A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.

One strain became airborne in Reston but was not lethal to humans. In the slum (West Point) there would be 50% dead by now. That would be repeated in other places in Africa with millions infected and dying. The 46 other passengers that landed with Patrick Sawyer would be infected and 1/2 of them would be dead instead of him and the woman seated next to him.

The strains we are seeing are not airborne except for the limited case of droplets.
