The results of the culture were positive, the reaction of the cultures was that they glowed brightly.

The Boniface glowed weakly. To his horror, the Mayinga glowed brightly. He jerked his head back. Aw, no! He adjusted his helmet and looked again. The Mayinga blood serum was still glowing. The dead woman’s blood was reacting to the virus in the monkey house. He got an ugly feeling in the pit of his stomach. Those monkeys didn’t have Marburg. They had Ebola. Those animals were dying of Ebola Zaire.
