I find it hard to believe that this hasn't been brought up in here before, so apologies if it has, but apparently the US government has a patent on the latest strain of Ebola.
Compositions and methods including and related to the Ebola Bundibugyo virus (EboBun) are provided. Compositions are provided that are operable as immunogens to elicit and immune response or protection from EboBun challenge in a subject such as a primate. Inventive methods are directed to detection and treatment of EboBun infection.

Why would a government patent a virus?
To prevent any other agent claiming a patent and thus blocking scientific work.
It seems there is a whole spectrum of conspiracy theories surrounding this and I would like to add one more... there is nothing better to cover up some Governmental misbehaviour than a good conspiracy theory.
I think the way to get at least close to the truth in theses matters is to firstly look at the extremes and consider what is most likely; for example the extremes here could be:
A) there is nothing untoward going on the US government patent on the Ebola virus is merely to prevent the "other lot" using our data. Hmmm.
B) the government is part of an illuminati scheme to reduce the world population to 500,000,000 by next Thursday.
Somewhere between these extremes lies the truth. Probably.
