Ebola virus – different strain now found
The Zaire species of Ebolavirus (ZEBOV) is the most virulent strain of the known species. It is responsible for 88% of human deaths from hemorrhagic fever since 1976.
Until now it was unknown how Ebola arose and most theories point to a genetic history dating back to 1976 with subsequent outbreaks dating back from this time – LINEAGE A.
However, between 2001 and 2006 gorilla and chimpanzee carcasses were discovered in the Republic of Congo. All had died from the virulent strain of Ebola. Research showed that these primates died of a new genetic lineage of ZEBOV, called LINEAGE B. It was then discovered outbreaks between 2001 and 2003 fell into Lineage B.
Scientists have therefore concluded that like the HIV virus, wild strains of Ebolavirus are capable of exchanging genetic material by recombinant process. This information makes developing a vaccine somewhat more complicated.

I’ve found that people genic science is that of a 3rd grade so yes just like all vrus strains like black plague ebola alter starins faster than we can study yes we are in trouble for science is restricted for the silver spoon society and goverment and they all only care about money and as the goverment would say about the enlisted expendable
Thank you for your comment Rick. I agree we need to channel more resources into areas that are less well off but as entitled to research and support as every one else. Elaine
As a person who ‘was’ in the medical field, I’ve found particular interest with the Ebola Virus. I have a question, and would like whoever knows to please e-mail me.
In the research of this dreadful and deadly virus, could you please state how much differently the virus strain would behave in a body that is more alkaline, as opposed to being more acid.
As one Italian oncologist has discovered, that cancer acts and looks more like a fungus because the head of a cancerous site is always ‘white.’ Fungus is also white, and so he’s been using an alkaline solution to cure cancer at his clinic.
I actually found his video interview on Google by accident; however, the interview was an alternative news source and not the mainstream media. There had only been 500 hits at that point.
Taking his information regarding this, I began to experiment myself, when I had an infection in my throat and ears.
As you will agree, I’m sure, Antibiotics play a major role, such as Ampicillin. Even though I’d just began taking this, I also made a gargle with plain old baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). I would think it near impossible for those dreaded white areas at the back of my throat to disappear just after the first dose of Ampicillin; however, I then deduced that creating an alkaline environment for that infection made it difficult for it to stay, even though my body is more acid.
Now, I don’t know what you think about this, and I’m only ‘fair’, compared to some, in the medical field.
So, my question is…has it been tested as to what type of environment the Ebola prefer; the body that is more acid, the one that’s more alkaline or it doesn’t matter, the virus loves both and can make no distinctions. But if it kills so easily in some hosts and not in others, there must be an unrecognized reason. For every cause there is an effect.
This certainly would help my research, since I don’t have a facility to test it, right? I’m writing my own research paper regarding this.
Thanks so much for your assistance.
