Ebola has been around for a billion years, and now ebola broke out in the west of Africa.  An perfect virus is a virus that is able to reproduce itself without killing its victim.  The ebola virus is the perfect virus for a bat.  Viruses are experts at carrying disease.  They try to use every canal or path to try to poison the human body, and other animals.  The ebola virus is an expert at passing from cell to cell without causing the nervous system in the human body to send out an alarm.  Since the ebola’s genetic code is wrapped in a protein shell, it gives the virus an advantage over the bodies first line of defense, giving the virus time to reproduce.  The race to help with the cause and cure for ebola is tough, but hopefully we will find the cure.
