Discover groundbreaking research from the University of Iowa as we uncover Ebola's surprising route to the skin surface! In this video, we delve into a study that traces how the Ebola virus (EBOV) escapes the body and potentially contributes to person-to-person transmission through skin contact. Led by researchers Wendy Maury, Ph.D., and Kelly Messingham, Ph.D., this study identifies specific cell types in the skin that are infected by EBOV, shedding light on the virus's behavior during late stages of infection. Join us as we explore the implications of this research for future antiviral strategies and public health.
