Ebola Virus May Persist in Brain for Months
Recent laboratory studies have shown that the Ebola virus can remain in the human body for several months or even years after infection, especially in immune-privileged areas of the brain and central nervous system, increasing the risk of relapse. Experiments on cultured brain cells demonstrated that the virus can infect and multiply for up to 120 days, with the potential to spread between cells through various mechanisms. The study highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind the virus's persistence and its long-term effects.
