An unprecedented number of Ebola virus infections among healthcare workers and patients have raised questions about our understanding of Ebola virus transmission. Here, we explore different routes of Ebola virus transmission between people, summarizing the known epidemiological and experimental data. From this data, we expose important gaps in Ebola virus research pertinent to outbreak situations. We further propose experiments and methods of data collection that will enable scientists to fill these voids in our knowledge about the transmission of Ebola virus.
医护人员和患者中埃博拉病毒感染病例数量空前，这引发了我们对埃博拉病毒传播认识的质疑。在此，我们探讨人与人之间埃博拉病毒传播的不同途径，总结已知的流行病学和实验数据。基于这些数据，我们揭示了埃博拉病毒研究中与疫情相关的重要空白。我们还进一步提出了实验和数据收集方法，以使科学家能够填补我们在埃博拉病毒传播知识方面的这些空白。
