How is ebola transmitted

Ebola Transmission -: Transmission is from someone who has signs of active infection via contact wi blood or bodily fluids or through contact wi contaminated objects. Ebola can be spread through body fluids such as sweat, tears, blood, saliva, breast milk, semen, vomit, urine and stool. The virus can gain entry via cuts/ abrasions of skin, nose, mouth, eyes or any open wound. Ebola can also remain alive for a brief

Direct contact: Ebola infects those who have had direct exposure to those infected or recently who have died of ebola. It is not transmitted through the air, or water supply.

NOT fully known: We know of some ways involving direct contact with bodily fluids that likely result in transmission. In full discussion with experts, they will concede Ebola modes of transmission are NOT fully defined and/or understood. The WHO, CDC, and NIH all recommend extensive protective gear be worn when around/within 3 feet of suspected Ebola infected. "Droplet" precautions are required as well.
