Aucun cas de chien ou de chat atteint d'Ebola, ou susceptible de transmettre le virus Ebola à des humains ou à d'autres animaux, n'a été rapporté.

Many of the challenges were not unique to Dallas or the state of Texas. What is a Virus?. Viruses are microscopic particles (10 – 400 nm).. Viruses are made of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coating and sometimes an outer layer containing lipids.. Since 2014, West Africa has experienced the largest outbreak of Ebola in history, with multiple countries affected. . Two imported cases, including one death, and two locally acquired cases in healthcare workers were reported in the United States..
