The ebola virus is one of the nastiest pathogens known to man. It corrodes blood vessels and stops clotting, leaving most of its human victims bleeding to death through their pores. And guinea pigs — along with opossums, wallabies and insect-eating bats — have it in their genes.

Real pigs can understand the value of their reflection, according to new research, putting them in an elite group of animals.

The pig species is significantly similar to humans in its form and function, and the organ dimensions are largely similar to human organs. The immune-related genes of the pig cells could be modified to make them compatible to the human immune system.
