RSV Portal of Entry
SV is often considered a nosocomial infection due to its prevalence in hospital settings, ranging from 6-56% from neonatal/pediatric to adult settings

RSV Mode of Transmission
The first step is to transcribe a positive sense RNA strand from the original negative sense RNA strand
EBOLA REPLICATION MECHANISM
Ebola enters the human host via mucosal areas or skin abrasions.
EBOLA Portal of Entry
The primary reservoir of Ebola is thought to be fruit bats. It is not fully understood how Ebola jumped species.
EBOLA Resevoir
Lastly, health-care providers who treat Ebola-infected patients are at high risk of contamination, as infections have occurred in the past when precautions were not strictly enforced
Ebola - NOSOCOMIAL SPREAD
bola originally jumped to the human species from close contact with fruit bats, their excretions, or their blood (5). After that, transmission is through human-human contact, more specifically through direct contact with bodily fluids and/or anything carrying these fluids
