No, it has been found in the U.S. However, it has not been found in humans outside of Africa. It found it's way into the U.S. in monkeys imported from Africa, shipped to Reston, Virginia. The strain of Ebola is now known as "Ebola Reston". This strain can only be spread from animal to animal. But, it could be spread through the air, and it was spread through the air vents. The military killed all the monkeys and the epidemic was stopped.
