Pigs Pigs make their own ascorbate. Usually.But they don't when they're sick and can then catch Ebola. Also pathogenicity of the swine herpes virus may have come about the same was as in Ebola. The short answer is any animal with scurvy is susceptible. Animals that make their own ascotbate are generally not susceptible to the virus but it can be induced if serum ascorbate is low.

One was infected with Marburg and workers began dying and infecting other people. A new type of virus proved to be responsible and a new family was created for these, the Filovirus family. Less than a decade later the next member of the family would be discovered when a breakout of Ebola occurred simultaneously in Sudan and Zaire. selenium Implications of selenium Administration Boosting serum Selenium Biogeography Deficiency "98.7 μg/L of Se in plasma or serum are required to optimize GPx activity" - Stoffeneller 2015 Drug History and examples of selenium use in fighting disease.

Evidence now suggets 100 mcg is the level at which Seactivity begins. Also most people do not even achieve the RDA level in the first place.

Tellurium suffers the same fate. Now however, evidence is beginning to trickle in that tellurium, by virtue of being the same row of the periodic table as Oxygen, Sulphur and Selenium has similar properties to Selenium but is more active. Caution needs to be exercised still as Tellurium is also more toxic than selenium. But as a future direction tellurium may have promise in future medicine - they did have a place in ancient medicine. Recall that "Head and Shoulders" shampoo uses selenium to kill bacteria and similarly so, "tellurite" has been used in the past as a bactericide. timeline The 2014 Outbreak Timeline - Chronology of the EBV Outbreak. "On March 23, 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) was notified of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Guinea. On August 8, the WHO declared the epidemic to be a “public health emergency of international concern.” "These data indicate that without drastic improvements in control measures, the numbers of cases of and deaths from EVD are expected to continue increasing from hundreds to thousands per week in the coming months." These are the most significant events: "We've now seen several cases that don't have any symptoms at all, asymptomatic cases," said Anavaj Sakuntabhai who suggested the virus might be mutating. 29 January 2015 Last updated at 00:55 http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31019097 Ebola Not Mutating, Scientists Say Wednesday, May 13, 2015 http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_152522.html British nurse cured of Ebola credits new drug - and strawberries "Back in Britain, the decision to try MIL 77 was not difficult. “I said ‘I have Ebola, so, yes, I’d rather have that than high-dose vitamin C,’” she said" “I reckon I’ve had 10 punnets,” joked Corporal Anna Cross, who smiled nervously as she talked for the first time after her treatment at the Royal Free Hospital in north London."
