> Does anyone know whether animals are carriers or not?

They are, starting with the obvious observation that although we don’t know what the persistent natural reservoir is for this virus, the index cases in Africa get it from wild animals such as bats and monkeys.

It has also been observed in pigs, and dogs tested positive in 2005 tests, but apparently they are just asymtomatic carriers. For how long, and what risk they pose to humans is an open question.

I wonder where to get a mask for 50 pound Lab puppy? All kidding aside, I believe nothing obama or any of the idiots "running" the government have to say anymore.

Does anyone know who the foremost expert on Ebola is?
