1989‚ many monkeys started dying. Samples were sent to Fort Detrick (USAMRIID) for study. At the time‚ people thought the virus was Simian hemorrhagic fever virus‚ a fever harmless to humans but almost always fatal to other primates. When they sent it to biosafety level 3‚ one of the samples appeared to be contaminated with the harmless hemorrhagic fever virus. Two USAMRIID scientists exposed themselves to the virus by sniffing the flask. When they tested the samples with known Level 4 agents‚ only EBOV
