No, fruit bats are in fact hervibores and post no physical threat to humans and animals. However, it should be noted that some bats have been known to carry diseases that are known to be dangerous to humans.

How does Ebola relate to science?
Ebola hemorrhagic fever (alternatively Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever, EHF, or just Ebola) is a very rare, but severe, mostly fatal infectious disease occurring in humans and other primates, caused by the Ebola virus, which is possibly carried by fruit bats.
What is the epizootic cycle of ebola?
Fruit bats and other primates as well as humans can get Ebola. But there is no epizootic cycle for humans. That means that it can be spread from human to human without any carrier (animal).
Was the Ebola virus started by animal or human being?
It is thought to be from primates but there is also some think that maybe fruit bats are involved.
Can you get Ebola virus from eating south African fruit?
Only if some one who handled it has Ebola.
Why can monkeys get Ebola?
There are about five strains of Ebola. Four infect monkeys and the fifth is found in fruit bats and now has infected humans. The monkeys can get Ebola like they can get many viral diseases and that is because there are proteins on the surface of the cells of the monkeys that the virus can attach to.
What Ebola virus affects the humans?
Ebola seems to be infective exclusively to mammals and especially primates. It produces a high degree of morbidity and mortality in humans, green monkeys macaques, and others. Fruit bats have also been found to harbor indications of Ebola exposure in their livers, but it is thought that bats are not the vector, but actually suffer from the disease itself. The current guess (and it is no more than a guess at this time) is that the reservoir for Ebola may possibly be a long-lived arthropod, but this guess is based on circumstancial evidence and not clinical examination.
What animal caused Ebola?
Howdy! It is most likely that fruit bats are the natural reservoirs of ebola virus (EBOV) and infected non-human primates like monkeys. Eating non-human primates, and even bats, as bushmeat which is contaminated with the virus can prove to be very lethal for the victim. Hopefully, my response has helped you! 😄
Are fruit bats meat eaters?

Why do fruit bats not drink blood?

Are fruit bats primates?
Bats are in a separate order from primates. Bats are divided into fruit eating and insect eating bats. Therefore, fruit bats are just bats, not primates.
