just back from the CDC site. Ebola’s natural reservoir is believed to be bats, with African fruit bats the likely culprit. They are the carriers. contact with the bats and/or their feces/bites is the presumed vector to a human ‘index’.
No identified vector beyond contact and contamination.
SO ... not a typical ‘outbreak’ sort of virus.
Not so fast there with it only being in African fruit bats. Some research monkeys in Texas had it and there was a big scare. I couldn’t find a link (the posted link is, I think, of the same facility but earlier timeframe) but iirc there were some that got loose about 8 years ago and there was a panic to get them back and play the story down.
So the fruit bat is the vector, but it is spread from human to human through bodily fluids?
