It is possible that the virus passes through an intermediate carrier, such as pigs, to reach humans. This is suggested by the fact that some healthy pigs and farmers in the Philippines show evidence (based on their serum antibodies) of having encountered Ebola. In addition, pigs that were deliberately infected with Ebola in a Canadian laboratory were able to aerosolize the virus and transmit it to monkeys without direct contact. Presumably, a similar transmission might occasionally happen between infected pigs and humans.
