Do You Know Any Of The Researchers Working On The Ebola Virus? by Etfash(m): 8:26am On Aug 12, 2014
Good day all.

Please if you know any one working on getting a cure for the Ebola disease tell him/her that the solution is a free living virus.

This could be one of the 5 species that doesn't cause disease. The virus could be sequenced and cloned may be.

Please don't trivialize this, just get it across.

Yeah i know one of the scientist who search for Ebola, when my daughter was at the University in Vienna her lecturere was Herta Steinkellner, my daughter is now a Phd in UK working on cancer.

Please stop that it was man made!

You write that is was cloned and that mean man made that was it.

No, i didn't mean that. I was trying to suggest how a free living ebola virus species could be produced through cloning. I am quite knowledgeable about Molecular genetics - i can't say it was man made.

There are 5 known species of the ebola genus. 4 of them are disease causing but 1 is not.

Now, i have been told that a virus similar to ebola is the cure. It could be by getting a fluid from an infected patient, transferring to another infected patient and vice versa; it could also be by introducing the free living ebola species.
I am stating this to enable the researchers concentrate on these areas and increase the probability of getting the solution as soon as possible.

A little toxicological dose/response tests would reveal these.

This is a good idea. But it would be most useful in preparation of a vaccine and not a cure, especially considering the large numbers of infected people.

A challenge would be identifying humans infected with such strain to obtain serum from or identifying which monkeys or bats are infected with that particular reston strain.
