Hundreds of migratory insectorvor raptors have been observed in the vicinity of the primate center today and I wonder if viable ebola sources are present in their sphere of influence. If there is any interest I will post further. Employees at the SouthTexas Primate facility report tonight just now, that the State of Texas and the U.S. CDC representatives verified that the dealer supplied 100 monkeys, where 2 tested positive for a unknown virus, was in fact not ebola, but filo-virus. The monkeys came from Ferlite of the Phillipines, a primate dealer which may now have some questionable sources, as a result. The State of Texas and the CDC has confirmed to the national media that there is no problem of ebola.
Tests are negative at the primate center.
Local media, however, continues tonight to spread the incorrect information. The confusion between Reston and Zaire Ebolas makes for good nes stories but bad science. Biomed reports on studies that have confirmed the Ebola contagion being airborne. If this is suspected at the least why can CDC not report on these government findings in relation to precautions in Texas. I do not believe that this situation needs to be downplayed by the authorities.
