Otherwise well-meaning people; people smart enough to know that what was killing their monkeys in Reston, Virginia was serious, almost caused an outbreak in and around Washington DC.

When the cells are at last ready to be viewed under the electron microscope, however, Geisbert makes a startling discovery: whatever is infecting the monkeys is a filovirus, and both he and Jahrling may have been exposed. They immediately find Gene Johnson, and go with him to inform Colonel Clarence James Peters (C. J.)—although they keep their potential exposure a secret. They inform Dalgard that something may be amiss, and continue to study the virus. Eventually Jahrling makes another disturbing finding: the virus is either Ebola Zaire—the deadliest form of filovirus—or a very close relative. Months go by, more monkeys are imported, and yet another wave of Ebola sweeps through the monkey house, exposing another employee to the virus. This time, the Army decides to let the monkeys die out, since the virus seems to pose little danger to humans. Soon after, however, it is found that Jarvis Purdy, Milton Frantig, and two other Reston employees have the virus in their blood, and yet they remain symptomless. This means that the virus can travel through the air, but does not cause harm within humans. A fourth strain of the virus has emerged: Ebola Reston. It is almost identical to Ebola Zaire, except that it can move through the air, and it does not affect humans. A tiny change in its genetic code, however, could make this virus truly deadly.
