“Genetic Strains Of Ebola That Have Never Been Seen Before” (Video)

via Global Research

The current outbreak (which actually began on or before December, 2013) presents genetic strains of Ebola that have never been seen before.  The Guinea variant of Ebola was itself novel enough to form its own clade.  Now, via Recombinomics and with respect to Sierra Leone, we have:

“The June Sierra Leone sequences have evidence of some drift from the March sequences from Guinea.  A prior Zaire sub-clade, which was found in apes and a chimpanzee and was associated with an outbreak in Gabon in 2002 had strong evidence of recombination, which raises concerns of more evolution in the current sub-clade, which has produced a record number of reported Ebola cases and deaths.”

It’s news like this about ebola that makes me especially weary of it’s spread.  You have to wonder, why now?  Why is Ebola spreading and killing like it is now when it has never ever done it before?
