I'd read in Ken Alibek's "Biohazard" (highly recommended and scary as hell if you haven't read it yet) that the Biopreparat (Soviet secret biological weapons program for those who don't know) was experimenting with different strains of Ebola in an attempt to weaponize it, supposedly one nasty cocktail they came up with was Ebopox, basically a combination of Ebola and smallpox.
