USAMRIID arrived in Reston, Virginia in December 1989 to sterilize the monkey house housing the lethal Ebola virus, which had arrived in the US through imported monkeys from the Philippines. Known as "nuking", the sterilization process involved bleaching all surfaces and placing formaldehyde crystals to release gas, killing all traces of the virus. Over 600 infected monkeys unfortunately had to be euthanized to prevent the spread of Ebola. By the end of December, USAMRIID completed the mission and crisis was over, with the agency now studying the virus to develop a vaccine.

arrived in Reston, Virginia to nuke the extremely lethal Ebola virus that had become prominent in the Reston Primate Quarantine Unit, or the monkey house.
The Reston Primate Quarantine Unit housed
the Ebola virus.
The Ebola virus is a lethal killer: 9
out of 10 infected individuals will die from the virus. Not only that, the symptoms of Ebola are very unpleasant. The most common symptoms include hemorrhaging all over the body, vomiting and coughing blood, and having the bodys organs begin to liquify.
It has been determined that the
Ebola virus arrived in the US through monkey shipments to the monkey house. The monkeys came from the Philippines, where it seems as if an Ebola outbreak may be occurring. In response to this outbreak on American soil, the United States Department of Agriculture will increase the testing done on imported monkeys. This is to insure that another outbreak of a deadly virus does not occur again. USAMRIID, or the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases, is usually in charge of researching biological weapons against soldiers. In a turn of events, the CDC, or Centers for Disease Control, will take over human cases, while USAMRIID will take care of the monkey house.
USAMRIID is located in Fort Detrick,
Frederick, Maryland.

Nuking is a term used by
USAMRIID faculty that means completing sterilizing a location. It will be done by using a large amount of bleach on every surface in the monkey house, and then finishing off
by placing crystals containing
formaldehyde gas on frying pans; bleach and formaldehyde are both very effective tools used for sterilization.. According to Jerry Jaax, the head of the Reston Monkey House mission and an expert at USAMRIID, The nuking process is fool-proof. Due to the air-tight rooms and hallways inside the monkey house, the formaldehyde gas will be able to seep into every nook and cranny, completely eliminating the Ebola virus. Not only that, but the gas will stay inside the monkey house for three whole days to ensure every trace of the Ebola virus is eliminated. In order to successfully nuke the monkey house, the infected monkeys will, unfortunately, have to be euthanized. More than 600 monkeys will have to be terminated to ensure Ebola does not spread. In terms of safety, USAMRIID has teams of experts on the job; they know exactly what they are doing and how to do what they are doing in the most efficient and precautionary way possible. A statement was released by USAMRIID saying the mission, and by extension the crisis of the Ebola virus, would be over by the end of December. With the experience of this almostcatastrophic event, USAMRIID is studying the virus to try and learn how to create a vaccine. For now, the United States is Ebola-free. -Bruno Aguado
