This is the first time that I read combined names like "Ebola Reston" or
"Ebola Marburg". Is that a correct nomenclature? I undestand that Ebola,
Reston, Marburg are all different, though related Filoviruses, and that
Reston isn't pathogenic for humans. Am I correct when I think that "Ebola
Reston" is just a snappy term some journalist came up with to catch
attention easier?
