No other experimental Ebola therapy has ever shown success in primates when given that long after infection; the five days is analogous to nine to 11 days after infection in people. Although two American aid workers who contracted Ebola in the West Afrucan nation of Liberia were cured after receiving ZMapp, their physicians do not know if the drug helped.
