An experimental Ebola drug healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus in a study,  boosting hopes that the treatment might help fight the outbreak raging through west Africa — once more of it can be made. The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to five days after they were infected with the virus and when most were showing symptoms. It is not known how well the drug would work in people, who can take up to 21 days to show symptoms and are not infected  the way  the lab monkeys were. Several experts said it is not possible to  estimate   a window of opportunity for treating people, but that it was encouraging that the animals  recovered   when treated even after advanced disease developed.

在一項研究中，一種實驗性的u伊波拉藥物治愈了所有18隻感染了致命病毒的猴子，這增加了人們的希望，即能再夠製造出更多的藥物，這種治療方法可能有助於對抗肆虐西非的疫情。這些猴子在感染病毒三到五天後，在大多數猴子出現症狀時被給予了這種藥物ZMapp。目前還不知道這種藥物在人身上的效果如何，因為人可能需要21天才能出現症狀，而且不會像實驗室的猴子那樣被感染。幾位專家說，不可能估計出治療人的機會之窗，但令人鼓舞的是，即使在疾病發展到晚期後，動物在接受治療時也能康復。
