title: Ebola Virus Stability on Surfaces and in Fluids in Simulated Outbreak Environments.
abstract: We evaluated the stability of Ebola virus on surfaces and in fluids under simulated environmental conditions for the climate of West Africa and for climate-controlled hospitals. This virus remains viable for a longer duration on surfaces in hospital conditions than in African conditions and in liquid than in dried blood.
