NIH Ebola Study in Macaques Provides Timeframes for Post-Mortem Viral Stability
NIH scientists tested samples from deceased Ebola-infected monkeys and discovered the virus can remain viable in a body for at least a week post-mortem. They also detected non-infectious viral RNA used for diagnostics for up to 10 weeks post-mortem. The study was designed to assess animals, such as gorillas and monkeys, found dead in the wild, but the timing and emphasis shifted to address the ongoing West Africa Ebola outbreak.
