Dogs feed on Ebola victimsThe residents of the Mount Barclay Community within the Johnsonville Township, outside of Monrovia woke up on last Friday morning in total dismay when the remains of dead Ebola victims were reportedly seen, eaten by dogs, something reminiscent of the brutal civil war here, when dogs ate dead bodies on the streets. The Liberian Government, through the Ministry of Health and Social
Welfare, buried some unaccounted-for corpses, suspected to have died
from the Ebola Virus in that township few weeks ago. http://www.thenewdawnliberia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12468:dogs-feed-on-ebola-victims&catid=25:politics&Itemid=59 |

Sounds like a gruesome scene over there. Walking dead doesn't have much on this.

Dogs like pigs can become infected by Ebola. Where as there is some evidence that pigs may be able to aerosol the virus and transmit it directly onto humans, it is not clear if dogs can act as similar vectors. It is possible but the research has just not be done. See abstract below. Dev Biol (Basel). 2013;135:211-8. doi: 10.1159/000178495. Epub 2013 May 14. Review of Ebola virus infections in domestic animals. Weingartl HM1, Nfon C, Kobinger G. Abstract Dogs like pigs can become infected by Ebola. Where as there is some evidence that pigs may be able to aerosol the virus and transmit it directly onto humans, it is not clear if dogs can act as similar vectors. It is possible but the research has just not be done. (EBOV; genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae) cause often fatal, hemorrhagic fever in several species of simian primates including human. While fruit bats are considered a natural reservoir, the involvement of other species in the EBOV transmission cycle is unclear, especially fbor domesticated animals. Dogs and pigs are so far the only domestic animals identified as species that can be infected with EBOV. In 2009 Reston-EBOV was the first EBOV reported to infect swine with indicated transmission to humans; and a survey in Gabon found over 30% seroprevalence for EBOV in dogs during the Ebola outbreak in 2001-2002. While infections in dogs appear to be asymptomatic, pigs experimentally infected with EBOV can develop clinical disease, depending on the virus species and possibly the age of the infected animals. In the experimental settings, pigs can transmit Zaire-Ebola virus to naive pigs and macaques; however, their role during Ebola outbreaks in Africa needs to be clarified. Attempts at virus and antibody detection require as a prerequisite validation of viral RNA and antibody detection methods especially for pigs, as well as the development of a sampling strategy. Significant issues about disease development remain to be resolved for EBOV. Evaluation of current human vaccine candidates or development of veterinary vaccines de novo for EBOV might need to be considered, especially if pigs or dogs are implicated in the transmission of an African species of EBOV to humans. |

How do you tell if a politician is lying?

Technophonbe,I would not do it with any gear. There is more ways to spread this disease than we are being told.Johnray
