This research study investigates the persistence of Ebola virus in different body fluids in a cohort of survivors in order to target and refine public health interventions to arrest ongoing spread of disease in Sierra Leone. It will monitor survivors at different points of convalescence ranging from the time of discharge from an Ebola Treatment Unit up to 30 weeks.
The potential public health impact of EBOV transmission by contact with body fluids other than blood from convalescent EVD survivors is substantial. Given large numbers of survivors from the current outbreak in West Africa, even a small percentage of survivors who transmit EBOV to their sex partners, children, or other contacts could prolong clusters of infection or spread EBOV to new communities. The purpose of this study is to assess the presence and duration of infectious EBOV in semen, vaginal fluids, and other body fluids of EVD survivors in Sierra Leone, which is critically important in understanding potential risk of EBOV transmission from survivors.
