This is a great read about the Reston Strain of ebola, which was first encountered in Reston, VA. A pretty scary read.
The good thing about ebola is that it burns out very quickly. The victims die before it can be spread to very far.

Yes Ebola Reston was a scare, had it not been the antithesis of the norm (i.e. fatal to man/non-fatal in other primates) we would have been in deep doo doo.

I found the descriptions of how the Army planned to totally quarantine the area quite interesting, especially since I had been working a quarter of a mile away at the time.

Then, read this one. Excellent book, but you probably won't sleep for a night or two. :-/
