    A scientist found a suspicious virus under the microscope while examining monkeys in the lab that appears to be a filovirus such as Ebola. He is concerned there could be a major outbreak since he and others may have been exposed by sniffing flasks containing the virus. He urgently needs recommendations on next steps from his colleague.

    Re: Possible Exposure: Confidential

    Hello Peter Jahrling,

    I hope you are having a pleasant day. I have very important information that we need to deal
    with immediately. As I was in the lab today looking at the monkeys, I found a suspicious-looking
    virus under the microscope. I am almost certain that the monkeys have a filovirus, possibly
    Ebola. This could be a huge breakout and we could have it, since we sniffed the flasks. I am
    currently taking images of the virus and triple checking to make sure that I am correct, but we
    need to take action immediately.

    Thank you for taking time out of your day to assess the possible exposure to a hot agent.
    Please get back to me as soon as possible with any recommendations or information on how
    we should proceed.

    Sincerely,

    Tom Geisbert
    Intern
