Indeed. Strains are different in their molecular structure as Ebola is just a giant strand of RNA that just so happens to frick cells up. Once it gets a different but still similar RNA structure through random mutations, it is classified as a different strain. However, it still doesn't mean it can randomly change to become airborne in some way. Viruses mutate extremely well, better than bacteria, but they still are not living beings.
