Factbox: Developers of potential Ebola vaccines and treatments

(Reuters) - Several companies with potential Ebola vaccines and treatments have captured the spotlight, as developers face mounting pressure to expedite research on new medical interventions.

No Ebola drugs or vaccines have entered mid-stage human trials, let alone been approved. VACCINES GLAXOSMITHKLINE PLC GSK is co-developing a vaccine with the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which has shown promising results in primates.
