The 2014-15 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak,originally reported during March 2014 in the Weste African nation of Guinea,has shown itself to be resistant to traditional containment methods,with over 28,000 infections and 11,000 deaths over 18 months.Recently,news that a Scottish nurse had relapsed to EBOV disease with neurological symptoms at 10 months after recovery have astonished experts.The prolonged nature of the outbreak has led to questions whether EBOV can become endemic in the human population,an undesirable outcome due to the large amount of resources required to keep this virus under control.In this commentary,we discuss aspects EBOV disease with those caused by pathogens considered endemic in humans,as well as factors which may contribute to sustained EBOV transmission in humans.
