Will the Ebola virus go airborne?
But interviews with several infectious diseases experts reveal that
whereas such a mutation — or more likely series of mutations — might
physically be possible, it’s highly unlikely. In fact, there’s almost no
historical precedent for any virus to change its basic mode of
transmission so radically. “We have so many problems with Ebola, let’s
not make another one that, of course, is theoretically possible but is
pretty way down on the list of likely issues," says infectious diseases
expert William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University.http://www.nature.com/news/will-the-ebola-virus-go-airborne-1.15943?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr
