The Genetic stability of Ebola virus

[KSHANNON at AARDVARK.UCS.UOKNOR.EDU]

	I agree that there is an unknown-but-soon-to-be-found ecological
niche' for the various strains of Ebola.  However, if the niche' is not
a mammalian one, how can we make the assumption that this niche' has very
little selection for change?

I have used freezers in my work and I have found that freezing can have
an effect on the chemistry of certain samples.  I am not proposing this as
a possible occurence with Ebola although USAMRID has kept biology in 
cryonics for quite some time. ???
