Ebola.

Sarepta---bingo!
Actually, that program is now defunct. So, as far as I know the only therapeutic/preventive program against Ebola virus is Tekmira's.

As this snip states, Sarepta's related Marburg therapeutic program is extant.

Oct 03, 2012 (Marketwire via COMTEX) --Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT), a developer of innovative RNA-based therapeutics, received notice from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that the Ebola portion of the Company's contract for the advanced development of hemorrhagic fever virus therapeutics was terminated for the convenience of the government due to funding constraints. The DoD's Joint Project Manager Transformational Medical Technologies (JPM-TMT) awarded this contract in July 2010 to advance a platform capability for treating both Marburg virus and Ebola virus. The Marburg portion of the contract remains in effect.
