WHY THEY DO NOT REPORT WHICH EBOLA.. AMERICA???????????? Ebola Recombinant in Uganda? Recombinomics Commentary December 2, 2007 recombinomics/News/12020701/Ebola_Recombination_Uganda.html Samples arrived at CDCs Biosafety Level 4 labs in Atlanta on Monday [26 Nov 20007]. By Tuesday [27 Nov 2007], Ksiazek said, it was apparent this was not a typical Ebola virus. Dr. Stuart Nichol, a CDC special pathogens team leader, said some molecular tests for Ebola were coming back negative, when another type of test came back positive. The CDC lab was then able to extract a small fragment of the virus genome. It looks, based on this, like its a new species of Ebola, Nichol said Friday evening. Previously, there were only 4 known types of Ebola. The Sudan and Zaire species were discovered in 1976. A strain called Reston was identified in 1989 among monkeys imported to a lab in Virginia. And in 1994, the Ivory Coast strain was identified. Depending on the strain, the death rate varies. Ebola-Zaire kills about 80 percent of its victims, while the Sudan strain kills about 50 percent, Ksiazek said. Ebola Reston is not lethal for humans.
