Has the method of transmission of the e boli virus been confirmed yet ? i keep hearing conflicting answers on how it is transmitted .

Not Airborn: So far, it is believed to be spread by contact with body fluids and water droplets but is not truly airborn. This is an important distinction. When you cough, for example, fluids come out of your mouth and can travel 6 feet or more before dropping onto a surface or a person. That is a possible method of infection. But it isn't supposed to remain airborn longer than that. Best wishes!

Yes - mode of: transmission is known. Transmission is from someone who has signs of active infection via contact w/ blood or bodily fluids or through contact w/ 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.

Not fully known: We know of some ways involving 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.
