How does Ebola infect a Person?

The Ebola virus can be easily transmitted through direct contact of blood, organs, secretions and semen of a person that is infected.

The virus can be spread through infected needles that are reused (this is a common practice in some 3rd world countries).

It can also be spread by sexual contact between an infected person.  Recovered patients do not pose a serious threat of infecting another person.   But the virus may be present in a human's body 7 weeks after being treated.   The vomit and diarrhea are filled with blood and mucus with the Ebola virus in it. Any person with close physical contact should be under strict surveillance.  The Ebola virus is highly contagious and is not airborne.
