2012 Nature paper: Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates - respiratory transmission?
Has this paper been discussed here at any length?
Demonstrates pig to primate EBOV transfer via respiratory shedding and transmission.
Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates
Hana M. Weingartl, et al, Nature, Scientific Reports 2, Article number: 811doi:10.1038/srep00811

MUCH more at the link above
My Pull quote:
"segmental attenuation and loss of bronchiolar epithelium and the presence of Ebola virus antigen in some of the respiratory epithelial cells in the lungs of all macaques suggest that the airways were one of the routes involved in the acquisition of infection, consistent with previous reports. Other routes of inoculation generally did not lead to lesions in the respiratory tract comparable to those observed in this study"
**Sorry my tablet borked the title w mispelling but i cant seem to change it **
