 | | Transmission of the virus has also occurred as a result of hypodermic needles being reused in the treatment of patients. | | | However, the virus may be present in the genital secretions of such persons for a brief period after their recovery, and therefore it is possible they can spread the virus through sexual contact. | | | These outbreaks were successfully controlled through the isolation of sick persons in a place requiring the wearing of mask, gown, and gloves; careful sterilization of needles and syringes; and proper disposal of waste and corpses. |

| | Ebola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In modern hospitals with disposable needles and knowledge of basic hygiene and barrier nursing techniques (mask, gown, gloves), Ebola rarely spreads on such a large scale. | | | Unfortunately, the nurses there also did not properly sterilize their needles, and the hospital, like the one in Yambuku, became a breeding ground for new Ebola cases (Draper 30–31). | | | This should be strictly enforced for all medical personnel and visitors. |

| | In addition, when needles or syringes are used, they may not be of the disposable type, or may not have been sterilized, but only rinsed before re-insertion into multi-use vials of medicine. | | | People can also be exposed to Ebola virus through contact with objects, such as needles, that have been contaminated with infected secretions. | | | In addition, one of the research goals is to monitor suspected areas to determine the incidence of the disease. |
