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.
