Experimental Ebola drug worked on monkeys

According to a new study, published in the journal Nature, an experimental Ebola drug cured all 18 monkeys infected with the virus which has been killed several people across the globe. The disease broke out in West Africa and spread all over.

The drug, ZMapp, was given to the monkeys, three to five days after they were injected with the virus.

Experimental Ebola drug worked on monkeys“The level of improvement was utterly beyond my honest expectation,” said one study leader, Gary Kobinger of the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg.

“For animal data, it’s extremely impressive,” said Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Although the drug has completely healed the monkeys, but, it is not clear how drug would affect on human body.
