Bio Safety Levels involve a set of criteria that can be used to assess the safety needed to work with biological agents. BSL4 is the highest level and requires not only a very specific type of facility but also requires a good deal of money for upkeep. There are few BSL4 labs in the world and Ebola is a BSL4 pathogen. So most labs can’t work with it.
