The present invention is based
upon the isolation and identification
of a new human Ebola virus species,
EboBun. EboBun was isolated from
the patients suffering from
hemorrhagic fever in a recent
outbreak in Uganda. The isolated virus
is a member of the Filoviridae family,
a family of negative sense RNA viruses.
Accordingly, the invention relates to
the isolated EboBun virus that
morphologically and phylogenetically
relates to known members filoviridae.


The word "invention" as used in patent application parlance doesn't necessarily mean it was "manufactured" clearly.....

Apparently those two Americans were flown to USA for them to get a sample of the current ebola strain and file for intellectual property if it's a mutated strain of previously known viruses rights and for when they'll develop the vaccine....
Talk of research in Motion....
