A highly infectious virus that is easily killed with basic disinfectants such as bleach and moderate temperature, but, which passes quickly from host to another contact through skin and especially eye contamination with infected body fluids. Because of the c. 2 weeks incubation period in a new host and its rapid transmission from one to another, Ebola has the ability to spread easily through hosts unknowingly infected. With the virus being easily killed, while a vaccine is being developed, attention should be given to the best means to identify Ebola infection at the earliest stage, and protecting health workers who work with the infected. In the latter situation, Bacoban can play an important role in giving constant infection control inside the protective wear used by health workers.
