Ebola<unk>  is a strain of the<unk> . In 1989 crab-eating macaques imported from the Philippines ended up in the Hazleton Research Products facility at 1946 Isaac Newton Sq W,<unk> , Virginia where the outbreak occurred.
This specific strain of the<unk>  caused a rather large panic, but after containment, it was discovered that although closely resembling Ebola Zaire, it proved fatal to only non-human primates. However, four of the<unk>  primate handlers tested positive for antibodies to the virus, suggesting that they had been infected but were asymptomatic.
The physical building in which the outbreak occurred was demolished on 5/30/1995 and a new building constructed in its place.  This facility, which is part of an office park, became a Kindercare and is a Mulberry Child Care and preschool center as of 2007.
Ebola<unk>  is indistinguishable under an electron microscope from other Human-type Ebola, yet deadly to the monkeys that were in the<unk>  research facility. It has been hypothesized that the reason that this strain of Ebola is deadly to non-human primates but harmless to humans lies in a minute genetic mutation of the virus. This strain is spread via airborne means, a supporting fact of gentic mutation as the original Ebola strain was not capable of infecting organisms through airborne contact. The surviving monkeys were euthanized as a precautionary measure.
The outbreak was the subject of Richard<unk> 's best selling 1994 book, The Hot Zone.
