multiple ebola virus transmission events and rapid decline of central african wildlife.several human and animal ebola outbreaks have occurred over the past 4 years in gabon and the republic of congo. the human outbreaks consisted of multiple simultaneous epidemics caused by different viral strains, and each epidemic resulted from the handling of a distinct gorilla, chimpanzee, or duiker carcass. these animal populations declined markedly during human ebola outbreaks, apparently as a result of ebola infection. recovered carcasses were infected by a variety of ebola strains, suggest ...200414726594
seroepidemiological prevalence of multiple species of filoviruses in fruit bats (eidolon helvum) migrating in africa.fruit bats are suspected to be a natural reservoir of filoviruses, including ebola and marburg viruses. using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the viral glycoprotein antigens, we detected filovirus-specific immunoglobulin g antibodies in 71 of 748 serum samples collected from migratory fruit bats (eidolon helvum) in zambia during 2006-2013. although antibodies to african filoviruses (eg, zaire ebolavirus) were most prevalent, some serum samples showed distinct specificity for reston ...201525786916
host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals.the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ...201728636590
