Ebola: How quickly can it be spread?

[DaughterDilemma]

It takes 21 days to incubate, during which time the victim is not contagious.

Most sources say it can be passed through bodily fluids entering broken skin or mucous membranes. Is that only when there is blood present in those bodily fluids?

I've read that ebola is thought to originate from fruit bats, and monkeys are common hosts, dont know how many animal species in the UK can be infected by ebola, but in any case we dont live in close proximity to livestock or wild animals so it seems unlikely.

There was an outbreak in Europe in 1967 (Marburg)thought to come from Ugandan green monkeys, 31 lab workers infected, 7 died.
Not exactly an apocalypse!

Didn't we have an outbreak of malaria here too? In Kent possibly.

apparently yes

[[http://malaria.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_wtd023991.html malaria in north Kent – after the First World War – as many as 500 civilians were affected by a mini malaria epidemic, triggered by the import of parasites by soldiers stationed in Thessalonika.
Since the 1950s, locally transmitted malaria has essentially died out. However, the number of imported cases of the disease has risen from 200 in the 1970s to over 2000 today, largely because of the growth of global travel. So can we expect another malaria epidemic in England? Probably not, suggests Dr Dobson. "We've moved so far forward in terms of our environment and housing conditions that it would not take long to break the malaria transmission cycle."]]

Just read that there's a suspected outbreak of Marburg virus in Uganda at the moment.

There was a confirmed case
