Yes, I was reading about this, too, and also thinking that it is a shame that they did not do the same thing, and at least test Excalibur for the disease. It appears that there have been ebola epidemics for many years, and they originate from the African people who eat the fruit bats; however it has not spread like it is spreadng this time. Maybe this strain affects more animals, too; since they are reporting that this is a mutated strain from what the ebola virus used to be.
Obviously, they are not likely to stop the African people from eating the monkey and fruit bats (those things are HUGE !); so ebola is going to be around for a long time to come. If it is going to spread to other countries where people have animals as pets, then we need to know whether the pet is infected by the virus, too.
I am very glad that they kept this dog in quarantine, and even happier that he was found to be ebola free !
