Low Dose Intranasal Ebola Exposure Results in Variable Time to Disease Onset

Caption

Investigators at USAMRIID and Boston University have used a model of Ebola virus infection in primates that better mimics human disease to identify early markers of infection. These markers of infection can be detected as early as 4 days before the first signs of disease such as fever.
