barcanista: Chai, that ZMAPP thin is so overrated... Abi na the China own dem give am?

Lets stop being ignorant. He was 75 abd his immune system was probably very weak. He probably had other issues like malaria to deal with before ebola. At 75, even a slight headache can kill you

Studies on a few monkeys

Currently there are only two in the fall of 2013 published scientific studies on the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp. These are tests on a dozen of "Non-human Primates", ie species of monkeys that are evolutionarily distant still quite far from the people.

In October last year, U.S. scientists reported on tests on rhesus monkeys and macaques in journal "Science Translational Medicine". Initially they were administered to four such ZMapp monkeys two days after injection of Ebola virus. The result: Two of the animals survived. That's according to the authors to Xiangguo Quiu from the Canadian Agency for Public Health just "50 percent" out. But the percentage saying this number of "volunteers" little.

As a result, the scientists tested a combination of the mixture of humanized monoclonal antibodies with the additional gift of an experimental vaccine also to stimulate the body's production of an immune protein called interferon alpha to increase the impact of the Ebola drug. Here, too, the animals were given the Ebola virus before the "therapy". This one sat, as pathogens have been detected in the blood.

The result: Three of four macaques and all four rhesus monkeys used survived (75 and 100 percent). Even that was a little more informative and very small for the human experiment.

A second publication of the author teams in Scientific Reports from the November 2013 attempted to clarify whether the effect of ZMapp lasts longer in six of the previously surviving monkeys. Were administered to the animals by ten and 13 weeks again an Ebola virus dose. This ten weeks survived all experimental animals, after 13 weeks, four out of six.

All these results are far from being able to speak for or against the use in humans. They suggest merely point out that such a therapeutic strategy with ZMapp could possibly be feasible.

Please read this than you will understand it better, I read it in the news paper in my country and it was in german but I translate waht is important that you understand this drug.

The age is a factor.

Hmm and i thought the u.s sent the Zmapp to him anyways r.i.p to him

livinbygrace: American wants to control the world by all means .They have the cure for their citizens but none for others .My People this is scientific slavery.

And that is not true.

The fact is, we have the scientists and the minds to invent cures for Ebola.

But the problem is....you Nigerians are not interested in development.You are interested in politics of how much to chop.

Instead of begging America....or blaming America....ask yourself why Nigeria has refused to invest well in science and technologic development?Ask yourself why power and water supply....two things needed for conducive research....aren't steady.

It isn't America's fault....it is our fault.

RIP priest. Hope the drugs works on Africans.

In Madrid...hope Ronaldo is safe

jerseyboy: Silly Americans. Your drug came in too late. RIP. Died in the work for Christ. Heaven awaits you.

Seconded and thirded

Just when we thought a cure beckons
.
.
Now the potency of the ANTI VIRUS calls for questioning.... Ya Allah please dont place upon us a burden that we can not bear..Grant d family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss...

Finally zmapp is not the answer.

Mukina2 i see you...flow for rank needs ur attention

NaMe4: Well from my understanding of this disease, there have to be key therapeutic steps to be put in place early enough before complications set in.

I don't think ZMAPP would directly attack and kill the virus by the way.

Our government has to welcome our experts in science and the medical field in particular for us to develop our own solution by making easily accessible portals for interested individuals to volunteer vital expertise, skills and even man-power in defeating this menace. Not by announcing formation of some committee and nothing more heard since then.

A commendable job has been done in enlightening the public about the infection/disease with preventive measures.

How about inviting experts and volunteers ready to tackle it head-on?

As we developed the ones against malaria? Smh! Na for Ebola things wan work? Research up & down on Nigerians' lips!

sharp guy...our brother 4m d east don create fake one...

At 75 his immune system is already shutting down. I dont think its d drug, but that d virus has ravaged him so mucu his immune is beyond recuperation.

Obviously,paracetamol is a cure to headache.but does that mean every headache treated with paracetamol must subside?same apply to zmapp.may God not let the diesease come near us let alone having to test the efficiency of zmapp

That means one country's map in Europe will also be painted red by CNN as an ebola troubled country, just like they did to Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and NIGER....ia

RIP to the dead
