Promising Ebola Vaccine For Great Apes Faces Ethical Hurdles #okc #news #wth



Swallowing just a few drops of a new vaccine could protect against the deadly Ebola virus. The new immunization is not meant for humans, but chimpanzees and gorillas, for which Ebola is a devastating disease as well. Yet the vaccine may never reach these great apes. Further tests are all but impossible because of new ethical rules, the researchers charge. Ebola is best known as a killer of people, but the virus also causes epidemics in wildlife. A 2006 study estimated that an outbreak in 2002 and 2003 in the Republic of the Congo claimed the lives of 5000 gorillas, but others have said the impact of the disease is hard to measure. http://bit.ly/2na66P7 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
