How is the Ebola virus transmitted?
Transmission exposure may be characterised as:
Transmission modes of the Ebola virus include:
1. Animal / wildlife-to-human transmission:
2. Human-to-human transmission:
Recovery from and the transmission risk of Ebola virus disease (EVD)
The Ebola virus is not believed to be transmissible through the following mechanisms:
Reference:

Content: Transmission is also possible through contact that is made between objects and surfaces and the bodily fluids and secretions of an infected person. Surfaces and objects, like clothing or bed linens and even countertops and doorknobs can become contaminated by an infected person, and subsequent contact can result in disease transmission. The Ebola virus is capable of surviving on surfaces (outside of the body) for several hours at a time. Contact with contaminated surfaces and objects within this timeframe can still transmit the virus, causing infection. Non-disposable needles and syringes, and other medical equipment have also been known to contribute to disease transmission if not properly sterilised before re-use or if accidental contact occurs. Transmission is possible during the handling of the body of a person who has died from an Ebola infection. The viral level remains high in a person’s bloodstream and various bodily fluids even after death, and any contact that is made with these can still transmit the disease. Burial ceremonies in many West African regions involve direct contact with the body of a loved one, placing mourners at a greater risk of infection. Recovery from and the transmission risk of Ebola virus disease (EVD)
Precautions are advised even after recovery from the Ebola virus. This is because it is not yet well understood just how much of the virus can remain in certain areas of the body that are not easily reached by the immune system.
