The Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council convened a workshop earlier this week in Washington, DC, to set research priorities for domestic Ebola disease, but the outbreak in West Africa — and the answers it could provide — permeated the proceedings. Although the conventional wisdom is that people are no longer infectious once they’ve recovered from Ebola, “we haven’t talked much at all about the possibility of transmission after recovery,” said James LeDuc, director of the Galveston National Laboratory, a biocontainment facility at UTMB. “I think that deserves a little more discussion.” Thomas Ksiazek, director of high-containment laboratory operations at the Galveston National Laboratory and a codiscoverer of the virus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, said, “It seems like we have to create some infrastructure that will allow us to ask some of these questions.”
