How is the Ebola virus transmitted? It is agreed that the most likely carrier source of Ebola virus (also referred to as a natural reservoir host) is that of infected bats who can transmit the disease to both human populations and those of non-human primates. The mechanism of transmission is believed to be through direct contact with infected bodily tissues (including organs), substances (like faeces or vomit) and fluids (like that of blood, saliva, mucous, urine, semen, sweat, tears and even breast milk) or mucous membranes of an infected animal. Direct contact merely means that people or animals (such as monkey) have inadvertently touched or come into contact with infected substances which then enter their body – often through the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth or via broken skin (a wound, cut or abrasion). Transmission exposure may be characterised as: Primary: This usually refers to a known presence of the Ebola virus in a confirmed endemic / outbreak area.
