I have summarized information about preclinical anti-Ebola drugs and Ebola vaccines undergoing clinical evaluation as a follow-up to my summary about the Ebola virus (http://www.slideshare.net/znacke1/ebolav2). Related information can also be found in my upcoming book: "The Heroine Next Door." Please refer to the notes page or contact me at bloedsiekte@gmail.com for the references.
