An Ebola vaccine trial yields promising results for protecting wild primates

Following the 2014 West African Ebola Outbreak, scientists have been working to develop ways to treat the deadly illness in order to slow down or outright prevent the next outbreak from occurring. While these treatments are often tested on animals, a group of scientists have been working to create an Ebola vaccine to protect primates in the wild. While the initial results are promising, regulatory changes and attitudes towards medical research conducted on primates could prevent further tests.
