The medical experts now for long have been battling against the Ebola disease in order to come up with any cure that could help save lives of those who get infected with the virus.

The latest accomplishment came yesterday from a scientist of the University of Texas. The scientist used a vaccine developed to immunize monkeys against the latest Ebola outbreaks in western Africa. The stain is categorized as the Ebola-Zaire virus or the Makona strain.

It was reported that the scientist during his study treated three monkeys with a possible vaccine against the deadly virus just 28days ago.

There were another three monkeys those were also injected with the deadly virus but they did not receive the vaccine.

The results showed that the monkeys that were given vaccination survived whereas the ones without the vaccine died within nine days of becoming infected to the virus.

Researchers associated with the study said that unlike HIV that monkeys can carry and not get affected, Ebola kills both monkeys and humans. This was the main reason why they chose monkeys as subject.

Now after successfully stopping the spread of Ebola virus in the monkey trails, scientists further are planning to carry out trail on humans.

The monkeys used in this study were rhesus monkeys and the positive results have made it possible for the human trials to begin later this year.

The vaccine given to monkeys in the trail is called TKM-Ebola-Guinea. It had positive results against the same strain of Ebola that has taken the lives of more than 10,700 people since the beginning of the outbreak in 2013, said researchers.

The makers of this vaccine claim this same medicine can be modified to help stop other strains of Ebola.
