The Ebola virus is introduced into the human population through close contact with the sweat, blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines. It first surfaced in 1976, and today thousands of deaths have been recorded. Does this mean that humans should not come in contact with each other? This question would be answered when a form of vaccine or treatment or solution is proffered against the Ebola virus and other disease causing organisms in times of deadly disease outbreak. This short communication is proposing the reinvention of the Vitek Machine and the engineering of avirulent bacteria strains against deadly pathogens. The engineered strains will be constructed in such a way that they are able to compete with pathogenic organisms for essential nutrients they need to survive and establish themselves within a host, “The era of the survival of the fittest”.
