One possible explanation that has rarely been discussed is that people could be infected with Ebola without ever showing symptoms. The phenomenon is called "asymptomatic infection," and it is an unusual but potentially very real feature of the Ebola virus in humans."

There will also be a third stage release that will be genetically modified to target those who exhibited natural immunity to the first two variants. |

Two outbreaks of fulminating haemorrhagic fever occurred in northern Gabon in 1996, with a 70% case-fatality rate. During both outbreaks we identified some individuals in direct contact with sick patients who never developed symptoms. We aimed to determine whether these individuals were indeed infected with Ebola virus, and how they maintained asymptomatic status. INTERPRETATION: This study showed that asymptomatic, replicative Ebola infection can and does occur in human beings. The lack of genetic differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals suggest that asymptomatic Ebola infection did not result from viral mutations. Elucidation of the factors related to the genesis of the strong inflammatory response occurring early during the infectious process in these asymptomatic individuals could increase our understanding of the disease.

Results from previous outbreaks had only indicated that such an asymptomatic infection was possible. During the first three outbreaks of Ebola virus in Sudan and Zaire in 1976 and 1979, WHO teams noticed that individuals had symptoms that ranged in severity, from mild (and probably asymptomatic) to rapidly fatal" "From the beginning to the end of both outbreaks, we identified 24 individuals who were directly exposed to infected materials from fatal and non-fatal cases, but who did not develop symptoms. These individuals were family members of symptomatic patients who lived continuously with them, and took care of them without any physical protection such as gloves. Throughout the study, these individuals were sampled several times, from the time of first exposure to a sick patient. We report a description of asymptomatic and replicative Ebola infection in human beings." In other words, people could be walking around spreading Ebola and showing no signs of infection...

Found a more recent study on Ebola by the same author (E. M. Leroy). Published on 26 SEP 2014 Titled: Ebola in West Africa: the outbreak able to change many things "In its own reservoir, EBOV replicates very slowly in target organs such as the liver and spleen; viral load is often undetectable, and the animal does not usually show any symptoms. The genomic evolution of genomic evolution of EBOV is therefore very slow. In humans, the situation is completely reversed. Indeed, EBOV finds a favourable environment for replication, and can reach extremely high viral loads (up to 109 particles/mL of blood). The high viral multiplication rate increases the probability of mutation. "...All of these factors could finally induce phenotypic modifications in virulence or transmission mode in humans; airborne or vector-borne transmission could have catastrophic effects." [link to onlinelibrary.wiley.com] So in humans it mutates faster...so fast that it could indeed become airbone... Guys you need to check this out!

I truly believe we simply do not know anything to be certain. I think there are a huge number of variables in this thing- longer incubations, different symptoms, one symptom, 5 symptoms, no symptoms. If those nurses who were considered low risk are sick, and are sick now... What about the health care workers who were deemed high risk? Not hearing about them or anyone else, are we. Or Duncan's family... It's like they suddenly fell off the face of the earth. |
