“Quammem afirma que vírus transmitidos pelo sangue precisam, em geral, de um vetor - frequentemente um inseto hematófago; aqui, uma capillaria — que deve “chegar em busca de uma refeição”: fica estabelecida uma intencionalidade.
Tal como o inseto, o próprio verme é atraído pelo sangue humano, ampliando assim as condições possíveis de transmissão da síndrome vampiresca. Os resultados desse quadro de alta transmissibilidade e infectividade são imediatos, logo começando a ser sentidos sob a superfície da cidade.”

“[From Spillover- Zika, Ebola, and Beyond, 2016] - Lina Moses, Epidemiologist, Sierra Leone
One of the tragedies of Ebola is that it spreads through LOVE and through people taking care of who they care about. Once people start to understand how its transmitted, they learn that they can't take care of the people that they love, and that's how the disease slows down and stops.”
