The ongoing Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa has highlighted questions regarding stability of the virus and detection of RNA from corpses. We used Ebola virus-infected macaques to model humans who died of Ebola virus disease. Viable virus was isolated <7 days posteuthanasia; viral RNA was detectable for 10 weeks.
目前在西非爆发的埃博拉病毒疫情凸显了有关病毒稳定性以及从尸体中检测RNA的问题。我们使用感染了埃博拉病毒的猕猴来模拟死于埃博拉病毒病的人类。在安乐死后不到7天就分离出了有活力的病毒;病毒RNA在10周内都可检测到。
