7. DEFINITIVE DETECTION IS BY LABORATORY TESTS
Correct diagnosis of Ebola virus requires series of laboratory tests. WHO categorises samples taken from patients as “an extreme biohazard risk” and states that testing should be conducted under “maximum biological containment conditions”.
Some of the tests are:

- antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- antigen detection tests
- serum neutralisation test
- reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay
- electron microscopy
- virus isolation by cell culture

Great job.
Clinical washing with measured quantities of soap or detergent with flowing water, after contact with the public, is recommended. However regularly washing ones hands, forearms, feet and the soles of ones shoes regularly, with dis-infecting solutions, as often as one contacts the public, is even more effective as Chlorine, boiling water maintained for 20minutes, min., and heat, kill 99.999% of known microorganisms and viruses, including EBOLA virus. It is essential that ones environment, most especially public places, like market stalls, eating places, halls, are frequently, at least daily, scrubbed with Chlorine water. Common disinfecting solutions, which contain specified measures of Chlorine include Milton, PURITIL, etc.
