Scientists claim that they have found a cure for killer virus Ebola.
They published research showing the 100% success of experimental drug ZMapp as a treatment on monkeys.
Professor Thomas Geisbert, of the University of Texas, hailed the performance of ZMapp as a “monumental achievement”.
Researchers infected 21 monkeys with Ebola.
All 18 of the animals given ZMapp made a full recovery but the three untreated monkeys died.
The study led by Dr Gary Kobinger, of the Public Health Agency of Canada, was published on the Nature journal’s website.
