As for temperature diminishing the virus, it is well known that viruses have the ability to "protect" themselves from adverse environments--it's called virulence factors. Also back in April, there was a report of a Marburg" type virus that had infected a person in Canada on RSOE. There has been no further reports of this individual. Marburg is a filovirus of the same genus as Ebola. This has been planned folks Quoting: Bodiless Damn people this will rage thru North America like small pox wiped out the natives or the Spanish flu.We don't have any natural immune defense against this,many people in Africa have survived outbreaks in their villages.And I shutter at the thought of all those border babies being inoculated at those centers,With in weeks those BBS will be attending school with our kids.Terrifying really;the perfect storm |

There are "some" who would Genetically immune to ebola and Marburg due to a mutation of the NPC1 protein. They are grouped in Ashkenazi Jews and Nova Scotians of Yarmouth county. Weaponizing it means they modified a specific nucleoprotein in the virus to target a specific protein in mammals, the CHolesterol carrier protein Npc1. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59034190 [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] "The researchers looked for proteins that Ebola virus might exploit to enter the cell’s cytoplasm. The protein Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) stood out to the team. “We found that if your cells don’t make this protein, they cannot be infected by Ebola virus,” Kartik Chandran, assistant professor of microbiology & immunology at Einstein, said in a press release. [link to www.redorbit.com] "Functionality of NPC1 is required for infection by authentic Ebola and Marburg viruses." [link to www.nature.com] "Approximately 95% of Niemann–Pick type C cases are caused by genetic mutations in the NPC1 gene"(Mellon SH, Gong W, Schonemann MD; March 2008) "The incidence among Ashkenazi Jews is estimated to be approximately 1 in 40,000 for type A of Niemann–Pick disease.[3] The incidence of both Niemann–Pick disease types A and B in all other populations is estimated to be 1 in 250,000.[3] The incidence of Niemann–Pick disease type C is estimated to be 1 in 150,000" Type D Niemann–Pick has only been found in the French Canadian population of Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, and is now known to be allelic with Niemann–Pick type C.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 61055754 United States 08/04/2014 03:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MODE OF TRANSMISSION: In an outbreak, it is hypothesized that the first patient becomes infected as a result of contact with an infected animal (15). Person-to-person transmission occurs via close personal contact with an infected individual or their body fluids during the late stages of infection or after death (1, 2, 15, 27). Nosocomial infections can occur through contact with infected body fluids due to the reuse of unsterilized syringes, needles, or other medical equipment contaminated with these fluids (1, 2). Humans may be infected by handling sick or dead non-human primates and are also at risk when handling the bodies of deceased humans in preparation for funerals, suggesting possible transmission through aerosol droplets (2, 6, 28). In the laboratory, infection through small-particle aerosols has been demonstrated in primates, and airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated (1, 6, 13). The importance of this route of transmission is not clear. Poor hygienic conditions can aid the spread of the virus (6). [link to www.phac-aspc.gc.ca] |

mamadawn52 User ID: 1580015 United States 08/06/2014 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is what I read from a canadian journal on the virus. SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days (23). Infectivity is found to be stable at room temperature or at 4°C for several days, and indefinitely stable at -70°C (6, 20). Infectivity can be preserved by lyophilisation. |
