IS EBOLA RESTON INFECTION IMMUNIZING FOR EBOLA ZAIRE?

Am I the only one in the world who is interested in the question of whether infection by the Ebola/Reston virus gives some sort of immunity for Ebola/Zaire? (For humans). From the moment I read the book, The Hot Zone, in the early 1990's, I wondered about that. Does everybody else simply find that concept boring and not worth learning about? The first vaccinations, by Edward Jenner, in the late 1700's, used 'cowpox' to immunize against smallpox. It's a worthy question. It's at least as worthy question why so many people seem so un-interested in the answer to that question. Jamesdbell8 (talk) 04:34, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Today (September 2014) there must be avid interest in the question among medical circles.
More interest (orders of magnitude?) than for this scintillating IPA treatment of a non-difficult word: Reston virus is pronounced ‘rɛstən vɑɪrəs (IPA) or res-tuhn vahy-ruhs in English phonetic notation. 84.227.241.146 (talk) 20:15, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
