Ebola Virus Study Reveals Skin Transmission Route

A new study has revealed that the Ebola virus (EBOV) can potentially spread through skin contact, highlighting an additional transmission route for the disease. Conducted by prominent research institutions, the study used human skin explants to observe EBOV’s movement from the dermis to the epidermis, infecting various cell types, including keratinocytes. The findings underscore the importance of the skin in person-to-person transmission and call for targeted antiviral strategies. This research advances understanding of Ebola’s transmission dynamics, paving the way for enhanced public health measures and containment strategies during outbreaks.
