It only hasn't spread this way because there hasn't been a outbreak outside of tropical Africa yet (healthcare workers who were infected in africa and evacuated under strict quarantine and biohazards controls dont count) where high humidity and temperature is known to prevent aerosolization and the droplet formation of the required size for respiratory transmission.The phenotypical behaviour of a virus is strongly dictated by its environment.>but bro ebola just spreads through blood and vomit and shit its not airborne in humans even though it does replicate in lung tissuehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31450596/>oh I mean it IS airborne in pigs and monkeys just not good at it humans YET because of tissue preferences hehe that never changes right?https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3498927/https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/experts-suspect-ebola-virus-sometimes-spreads-air>Ebola is also as stable in aerosol droplets as influenza thats fine right?https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/214/suppl_3/S290/2388091>One Ebola thats basically identical to the current outbreak is airborne in monkeys thats fine right? The fact its the only ebola that doesnt cause disease in humans by sheer luck is fine right.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5196033/https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/ebola-reston-a-look-back-at-the-monkey-house/article_4aad76c0-5b35-11e4-b9b3-371ac205d748.htmlIf you believe that ebola isnt going to go airborne after adaption in a large outbreak in colder climates ( if it already isn't) you're retarded.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4358015/
>>16982070Would a pulminary infection of ebola have the same presentation as the sanguine or fecal-oral route?>t. Retard who's genuinely curious
>>16982081They would share the majority of their clinical presentations however some presentations like coughing and pneumonia would be more pronounced and at different stages of infection
>>16982097The main reason I ask is I vaguely remember some infections (TB maybe?) Are much less harmful when contained in the lungs but on rare occasion spills out into other tissues and starts to wreak havoc. Is there any plausibility that most pulminary ebola infections would remain in the lungs without spreading to the rest of the body?
>>16982113Nah because they absolutely love to replicate in macrophages and the lung is filled with them they will definitely spill over into blood
>if you spray a concentrated aerosol of a virus into someone they'll get sickNo fucking shit. That's not how ebola spreads lmao.
>>16982128Ebola literally is a respiratory illness in non human primates. Its a descendant of bird retroviruses (respiratory virus specialists) it just so happens to be in a environment right now that prevents the formation of the required small aerosol particles, high temperature and humidity environment in Africa knee caps ebolas ability to act as a respiratory disease.
>>16982128>>16982131If you did a study on influenza that was exclusively contained to the same environmental conditions as tropical Africa you'd find it nearly exclusively transmits via contact with bodily fluid too and doesnt spread via respiratory transmission either
>>16982070>He still believes Ebola existshahahah silly nigger
>>16982133WTF so if Ebola gets into like desert arid regions or global north it'll be transmissible easily?
>>16982553no. op is a fearmongering, ignorant retard
>>16982553Im not saying 100% yes, what im saying is there is zero literature on the climate dependent effects on transmission in ebola. It is exclusively studied in a single environment, there was never been a outbreak in the general public outside of Africa (the two nurses who got infected dont count cuz they were in quarantine immediately) the literature absolutely supports ebola having the capability for respiratory transmission, as much as 4% of current transmission may be due to that route already, and thats in the absolute worst possible environment for respiratory transmission, we KNOW low humidity and low temperatures massively effects the effectiveness of respiratory transmission
