Since 2013, medical experts in West Africa have been playing whack-a-mole with what looks like the same strain of Ebola virus, and we don't really know why it continues to pop back up.
Even when our immune systems are on high alert, the virus seems to be getting away – but how?Past evidence
After analysing the brains of 36 macaques treated for Ebola who had survived for at least four weeks, scientists found a persistent viral reservoir in the fluid-filled cavities of the forebrain and brainstem in 7 of them.
Even though the authors found evidence of the Ebola virus in the primates' brain ventricles, they barely detected any signs of immunosuppressive cells. If given enough time, the immune system usually gets its fingers into the crevices of the brain as well, but this seems to be the last stage of the battle.
