Single Animal to Human Transmission Event Responsible for 2014 Ebola Outbreak

NIH-funded scientist uses latest genomic technology to make discovery

Bethesda, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–August 29, 2014.  Scientists used advanced genomic sequencing technology to identify a single point of infection from an animal reservoir to a human in the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This research has also revealed the dynamics of how the Ebola virus has been transmitted from human to human, and traces how the genetic code of the virus is changing over time to adapt…
