Pets are part off the deck in the Ebola outbreak
"Pets are not a significant risk for the Ebola virus in United States", according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Center for disease control and the State Department of agriculture.According to a statement from the three organizations, cited by The Dodo, the hypothesis of an American contracting Ebola virus through dogs, cats or other animals is very low."The risk of an Ebola pandemic affecting many people in the United States is very low. Thus, the risk of a pet being affected is also very low, since he would have to be in contact with blood or bodily fluids of a person with Ebola. Even in areas of Africa where the Ebola virus is present there's been no news of dogs or cats get sick with Ebola, "said the Center for disease control, CDC North.On the other hand, an act unlikely to a dog or cat find someone with Ebola, it is not clear whether the animal is a risk to humans. A 2005 study, quoted by the Washington Post, found antibodies in dogs gaboneses, after an outbreak of Ebola--that is, the animals were exposed to the disease, but there is no proof that the canines were infected or contagious.For the pets of employees exposed to Ebola-like for example in the case of Dallas, United States â€" the small animal Veterinary Association advises that they are quarantined, and are not automatically eutanasiados.Photo: Marina del Castell/Creative Commons
