i was thinking about the possibility of a mosquito vector
myself. i've heard that a small exposure to ebola can result
in disease, therefore, it might be possible, whether or
not it is the host, for mosquitoes or other flies, ticks,
etc. to transmit the virus. since blood seems to be a
primary means for human to human spread, the blood connection
could be significant.
also, i heard on "voice of america" shortwave last evening
that a fourth ebola strain has been identified. i wish
there were more information available about all this. i
keep hearing about cases farther afield, but never any
follow-up.
