Do some research on the USAMRIID Reston Virginia Ebola outbreak

It supports the mutation theory and demonstrates that Ebola can originate in places other than Africa

It's in: Internet Scientific Publications

The title is: Reston's Hot Zone --- Twenty Years Later

Conclusions

"And, indeed researchers discovered that this was a new species of Ebola virus, which they named Ebola-Reston15. The new virus was highly pathogenic in monkeys but apparently not in humans. The researchers also dispelled the idea that filoviruses were found only in Africa, because the monkeys had been imported from the Philippines. The investigators documented a high likelihood of aerosol transmission outside a controlled laboratory setting, because the virus appeared to pass between rooms to infect susceptible monkeys. Specimens from animals that died or were killed to eradicate the outbreak yielded fertile ground for research in new Ebola virus detection and identification techniques and the virological and pathological events associated with infection.

Twenty years later there still is no standard treatment for Ebola. Currently, patients are provided supportive therapy consisting primarily of balancing the patient’s fluids and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure, and treating them for any further complications."

Very strong support for mutation to airborne (aerosol) transmission mechanism.
