Ebola Virus: Please see “Pathogen Safety Data Sheet- Infectious Substances” for Ebola @ http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php ** SECTION IV - STABILITY & VIABILITY > SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISINFECTANTS & PHYSICAL INACTIVATION. ** I can't answer whether hand sanitizer can kill the virus – but this SDS does provide techniques for killing the Ebola Virus (in laboratory settings).
