AVII volume surge on ebola news.

---
AVI BioPharma Inc. reported in a peer-reviewed journal that one of its drug technologies is proving effective in combating the deadly Ebola virus.

AVI (Nasdaq: AVI - News) collaborated with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases to test the Portland company's Neugene antisense technology. The research showed that 75 percent of monkeys given an Ebola-specific Neugene agent were protected from a lethal exposure to the virus.

Following the announcement, AVI shares hit a 52-week high of $5.18 Friday.
