National Institute of Heath (NIH) reported that extreme care should be taken even after a patient dies with Ebola. A sub body of NIH, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases tried the same experiment on dead African patients. They took samples of 5 and done lab testing to prove that monkey test is accurate. And their tests were also positive.
