Ebola virus can be transmitted from person to person by direct contact with Ebola-infected bodily secretions, such as blood, vomitus, saliva, and fecal matter. There is a substrain of Zaire Ebolavirus, known as Mayinga substrain, that is suspected of being capable of aerosol transmission, though this has not been officially concluded. The Mayinga substrain was named after Nurse Mayinga N'Seka, who was the index patient of the 1976 outbreak in the Zaire River Valley. The exact method of transmission to Nurse N'Seka was never determined.
Additionally, Ebola virus can be transmitted by contact with the body of an Ebola victim. Bodies must be disposed of by either cremation in a furnace capable of reaching 1150° Celsius (2100° F) or buried in soil that has been thoroughly soaked with chlorine. Long sleeves, rubber gloves, mask, apron, and goggles must be worn when handling an Ebola victim.
Because of the possibility of airborne transmission, and also due to the very high mortality rates of Ebola viral hemorrhagic fever (on average 80% lethal; in some cases as high as 90%) the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and others dictate that Biosafety Level 4 protocols be adhered to when studying Ebola virus. This includes working in a sealed laboratory with multiple airlocks, the use of pressurized Level-4 polyurethane HAZMAT suits, the use of phenol and quaternary ammonium cation antiseptic chemical showers, and ultraviolet light air filters to prevent an accidental outbreak.
