[/quote] Incorrect. It has been found to last a year in sperm, and a considerable period in vaginal fluids. [/quote] "Studies have shown that Ebola virus can be isolated from semen up to 82 days after symptom onset (Democratic Republic of Congo, 1995) and recent virus persistence studies identified genetic material (RNA) from the virus by nucleic acid amplification tests (such as RT-PCR) 406 days (13.5 months) after symptom onset. This is well beyond the period of virus detectability in the blood of survivors and long after recovery from illness. The detection of virus genetic material many months after symptom onset is assumed to reflect the continuing, or at least very recent, presence of live and potentially transmissible Ebola virus. Ebola virus RNA has also been detected by RT-PCR in vaginal fluid from one woman 33 days after symptom onset (Democratic Republic of Congo, 1995). Live virus has never been isolated from vaginal fluids. With such limited data, it is not known for how long virus typically persists in vaginal fluids, or whether it can be sexually transmitted from females to males. More surveillance data and research are needed on the risks of sexual transmission, and particularly on the prevalence of viable and transmissible virus in semen over time."
