This discovery of the "Achilles heel" of Ebola thanks to these drugs, could be an effective shield against the infection of the deadly virus.

The term "computer virus", whose comparison with a biological virus is quite similar, since both insert its essence (the malignant source code in the case of the computer virus) in systems that function normally and alter it in many ways depending on its type.

In a few years, outbreaks of Ebola and other emerging infectious diseases, such as West Nile virus, could occur in areas where they are unknown today.
