Hmm....: We've already had it in the US. There was importation of infected research monkeys in the 1980s, I think. Fortunately no humans got sick. It is always possible, but I don't think very likely. Remember that some of the trouble they are having in western Africa, is that they don't have access to a lot of infection control procedures and equipment that we have in the States.
