>> there is a study from the 2001 outbreak in gabon and they tested 436 dogs and they said the tests were more likely to be in the dogs, up to 30% in the ebola cases. they were licking bod illy fluid. >> and so the question is, is there any sense on whether they could pass the virus on. and there are animals that get ebola that did not get the virus and do spread it. >> we think this epidemic was started by someone eating fruit soup in guinea. and as much as it is for us to tell, although it is hard to know, it does seem like it can he be carried asymptomatically. >> and how long do you quarantine a dog and is it different than in a human? >> well we quarantine a dog and handle it as we would as a human patient effected with ebola. while there are no reports of transmission, we want to treat this dog with an abundance of caution and treat as if it could transfer the disease and therefore we can assure the public and the dog will be safe and treated humanly. >> and here is my question on the cdc and here is the question. can dogs get sick with ebola. at this time there are no reports

one cdc study from 2001/2002 that shows in gabon dogs did come in contact with patients but didn't becomehe virus. the dogs could excrete the virus. so there was that possible transmission possible from dogs to humans but no documented evidence of that happening. >> interesting, professor sanders, the idea -- does that mean that dogs certainly can transmit the virus? can they be tested for it if they're not showing signs for it? >> they can be tested for it. there are a variety of ways to test it, through looking at nucleic acids or antibody responses to the virus. the concept that viruses in animals can be transmitted to humans and can have potential harmful consequences, that's obvious. i mean, we know that ebola is circulating probably in fruit bats. they, as the natural host, don't actually show any signs of infection. they don't have any symptoms, yet somehow it's being transferred to humans even directly or through the intermediary of nonhuman primates. so infected animals not showing signs of infection can potentially be capable of transferring the virus to humans. >> how long woul
