England:Reseacher's team from the university of Kent in England tested that the differences between Ebola viruses which cause harsh disease in humans. As per the study,"there may be a risk that Reston viruses acquire the few mutations basic cause disease in humans and to develop into a novel health threat"
The Reston virus,that is known to circulate in domestic pigs in Asia and sometimes infect humans, is recently the only member of the Ebola virus family not to have been noted as causing life-warning disease in humans.
Mark Wass(senior lecturer in computational biology) and team said, "Only a few changes in one Ebola virus protein, VP24, may be necessary to render the Reston virus into a virus that can cause human disease
