They are classified as “Biological Level 4” agents (WHO; Risk Group 4) based on their high mortality rate, person-to-person transmission, potential aerosol infectivity, and absence of vaccines and chemotherapy. Maxi- mum containment is required for all laboratory work with infectious material (1, 2). Yet, we are only beginning to understand the interac- tions of these viruses with their host, and our knowledge on genetics, pathogenicity, and natural history is still limited. Even though out- breaks among human and nonhuman primates to date have always been self-limited, it is because of our ignorance about the natural 1 Copyright 0 1996 by Academic Press, Inc.
