The dread of many people around the planet ebola pathogen go airborne

The dread of many people around the planet ebola pathogen go airborne

By Alfred Obi


Though gurus have said that ebola is spread through close contact with bodily liquids, some individuals claim the risk of ebola virus airborne is real. These people accept that unless the world does not accept this, they won't do what is required to end the ebola epidemic.

Interviews with transmissible illness gurus have discovered while this is possible it is extremely unlikely. There isn't any historic precedent of a pathogen changing its method of transmission this radically.

Everything that has happened so far with ebola can be cleared up by individual to individual contact. In order for the ebola virus airborneit might be to replicate the cells in the throat and lungs.

Second, the new technique would be required to be so good that it overcomes genetic costs to the virus. The natural hurdles Ebola will have to fight to become airborne makes airborne transmission doubtful.

Now, the pathogen attacks the veins in opposition to the respiration system. Even viruses which do attack the breathing system find it hard to get through the airways.

A good example of this is bird flu. Although it is simply spread through the air with birds, it has yet mutated enough to infect humans simply.

If Ebola virus airborne, is not yet an issue , what does it mean. To the average joe in the western world not a lot. Infection is rare unless someone spends time with someone who is already infected. This situation is rare as the few folks who've displayed symptoms have been quarantined.

As far as the experts go, their time might be better spend studying the pathogen in its current form. When the pathogen itself shows signs of mutating enough to become airborne, then it'll be a problem.

Some of the people claim that by then it's going to be too late. Scientists will not have time to find treatments if the pathogen is spreading that quickly.

This is especially true. However , the unlikeliness of this occuring might mean that scientists are wasting their time researching on the way to treat ebola when it goes airborne. Right now the majority of pros believe that this will not ever happen. More lives may be saved by finding a way to treat and contain the pathogen.
