Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.Īccording to researchers, the main carriers of Ebola virus in Africa are not mosquitoes, but birds, bats, monkeys and other mammals. Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. What could be the reason for their claim? Well here’s another post from CDCP, Only mammals (for example, humans, bats, monkeys and apes) have shown the ability to spread and become infected with Ebola virus”. “There is no evidence that mosquitoes or other insects can transmit Ebola virus. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention posted in their website the following: But what about mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are known since ancient times, as carriers of diseases such as Malaria, Dengue and West Nile Virus, but for Ebola, can mosquitoes become legitimate carriers? Let’s find out. People are starting to freak out! Everyone’s talking about this virus and majority are probably seriously taking extra precaution against this dreaded Ebola virus. This is probably the most asked question in the United States today, can mosquitoes transmit Ebola virus? You know what is being spread faster then the virus? – It’s Fear!
