**IN REGARDS TO EBOLA SERVICING: Because a special waste permit is required for each incident’s waste removal, Advanced Bio-Treatment is currently investigating issues in regards to required Department Of Transportation training for technicians that package and label waste for transport but DO NOT transport. Once we have those answers and pricing of haulers and incinerators, we will begin offering service.
Is it the Ebola virus or Hemorrhagic fever, deadly or recoverable, infectious or contagious? With so much in the news about Ebola, its easy to get lost in all the information. Advanced Bio Treatment can help.
The Ebola virus, formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, was first found in Africa near the Ebola River in 1976, according to the CDCs website Ebola is an infectious disease caused by coming into contact with 1 of the 4 strains of Ebola known to affect humans, and has symptoms like weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. This virus is considered infectious and not contagious because it can only be acquired by coming into contact with the body fluids of an Ebola victim and cross-contaminating your own. If it were a contagious disease it would be an airborne contaminant, which it is not.
Just like any other infectious diseases, such as MRSA, Influenza and Staph, the decontamination process must be handled by professionals trained in infectious disease control and clean up. That’s where Advanced Bio Treatment comes in. We are well trained, OSHA compliant, and meet all EPA guidelines for disposal of infectious material.

One of the most frightening viruses known to man, the Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a disease caused by one of five different Ebola viruses. Four of the strains can cause severe illness in humans and animals. The fifth, Reston virus, has caused illness in some animals, but not in humans.
The first human outbreaks occurred in 1976, one in northern Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) in Central Africa: and the other, in southern Sudan (now South Sudan). The virus is named after the Ebola River, where the virus was first recognized in 1976,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
