A new insight into how the Ebola vires spreads has been provided from a new modeling study published in Annals of Internal Medicine according to Digital Journal.
Scientists developed a random transmission model to determine how disease progression and case fatality affect transmission and discovered that the risk for transmitting Ebola depends on the extent of the viral load in a patient and the number of people that the infected person comes into contact with.
To increase the strength of the model, the scientists looked at the rate of survival and death.
