It is impossible to predict when, if ever, a pathogen might become airborne. It is unlikely that we have anything to worry about.

What are the modes of transmission for motaba virus?

What is the width of the Ebola virus?
The width of an ebola virus is about 100 nanometers.
Is Ebola virus airborne?
There’s almost no historical precedent for any virus to change its basic mode of transmission so radically. Even viruses that are well adapted to attacking the respiratory system often have a hard time getting transmitted through the airways. Consider the experience so far with avian flu, which is easily transmitted through the air in birds but hasn’t yet mutated to become easily spreadable in that fashion among people. So in one word, no.
What kingdom does the Ebola virus belong to?
Ebola is a virus, and as such, it is not part of any of the kingdoms of life.

Can dogs get Ebola?
It appears that dogs can be naturally and asymptomatically infected with Ebola virus. During 2001-2002, dogs in Gabon were found to have Ebola virus antibodies. These dogs were tested using antibody assay, antigen detection and viral PCR. While they tested positive to antibodies, no antigens or viral DNA sequences were found, and no virus was able to be isolated from these dogs. There are no scientific reports that show the virus has been isolated from dogs or that it can be directly transmitted by dogs. The Ebola virus is not airborne and can only spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person who is showing symptoms, or who has died.
