Yes, you heard it here first. Check out the article.
Scary stuff. French scientists at the Institute for Development Research claim they have found a new variant of Ebola-Zaire (the most lethal of the four known Ebola stains) which has a genome that varies by 2-3% from the previously identified ZEBOV: this suggests genetic recombination has occurred. They are calling the new strain ZEBOV-B and the original ZEBOV-A.
This is bad news. It's like a not-funny version of the scene from Outbreak where the picture of the virus rotates and they shout, "It's mutating!"
Life is definitely not ebola cherries,
