By | September 8, 2014 Following successful tests of Ebola vaccine on monkeys, human trials have begun in the United States and will be extended to the United Kingdom and to Africa, according to a BBC report.
The experiments by the US National Institutes of Health showed immunity could last at least 10 months. Vaccinated monkeys have developed "long-term" immunity to the Ebola virus, raising a prospect of successful human trials, scientists say.
According to the World Health Organisation, more than 2,000 people have now died in the outbreak in West Africa.
There are several experimental treatments are to help contain the spread of Ebola including a vaccine being developed by the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, reports say.
It uses a genetically modified chimp virus containing components of two species of Ebola – Zaire, which is currently circulating in West Africa, and the common Sudan species.
The viral vaccine does not replicate inside the body, but it is hoped the immune system will react to the Ebola component of the vaccine and develop immunity.
This outbreak of Ebola has claimed seven lives with 21 infections in Nigeria since the index patient, a Liberian, Patrick Sawyer brought the deadly disease to Nigeria in July 2014. Nigeria has recorded the best containment of the spread of the disease.

The pupils all believed and kept away from the tree. "Yes, that is what the master says but one day Bawa told me he had seen the Whiteman plucking the oranges one early morning and that it was just a he he told us," Tanko said.
"So you boys went to pluck the oranges?" Sule asked. "Not immediately, I had to be sure myself Every morning, we would wake up and sneak to the cathedral and hide there and watch till day light. Five days later, I found out that Bawa was right. Mr Jacobs came along and plucked the fruits. I was shocked. So after he had gone, we went to pluck. They were sweet and very ripe," Tanko said. "Can we go to get some?" Garba asked. Tanko laughed. "If you are caught, six strokes of the cane on your bare buttocks," Tanko said. But I can't believe this," Sule said.
