Ebola WARNING UNITED STATES

Dr. Fauci  “While the minimum amount of airborne ebola  required to cause ebola infection is thought to be very low, so far it has not been possible to determine a definitive value “.

Natural outbreaks of the Ebola virus, while severe, are typically isolated and usually affect no more than a few hundred people at a time , hundreds cases of Ebola virus  were diagnosed in United States, due to infected travelers from West Africa that had unknowingly harbored and incubated Ebola  while en-route to the United States.

By the time a african  refugee infected with Ebola virus becomes symptomatic, they are typically starting to shed EBOLA. 

However, there have been new ebola infections that occurred without documented contact between a patient and health care provider or family member  it is possible that a small fraction of cases of Ebola  may be the result of exposure to small droplets or aerosols containing Ebola.

To address these challenges, researchers at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate’s (S&T) National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) designed and conducted a study to optimize methods for collecting and measuring very small amounts of Ebola  in the air.
