Unless I'm mistaken, you're referring to the Marburg virus and not Ebola. 
I'll have to go get my books and look this up, but i'm pretty sure it was

"A vampire lives in a constant state of desire and disgust.  His nature 
often revolts him but he doesn't have the will to deny his indulgences.  
There's the killing, but there's also the pleasure, the sensuality, the 
lust, the sheer ecstasy of it all."
