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! 😄
It is not known what animal actually carries the virus. Though the virus has been found in monkeys, to say that a monkey carries the virus would be the same as saying humans carry the virus. Seeing that the survival rate of a human infected with Ebola Zaire is around 10%, one would not imagine a human being a good "carrier".
Fruit bats were probably the animals that gave Ebola to humans.
In the small village of Meliandou, in Guinea, stood a tall, hollowed-out tree where children loved to play. But thousands of bats lived in the tree, and one toddler, a 2-year-old named Emile Ouamouno, may have contracted Ebola from playing there.
He died of Ebola and is considered patient zero (the first).
None. Ebola is caused by a virus that is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids rather than an insect vector.
Ebola is caused by one of four Ebola viruses: Ebola Zaire (most deadly), Ebola Sudan, Ebola Cote d' Ivoire, and Ebola Reston (found in Virgina, US, not deadly to humans)

2014: The first person that spread the Ebola disease was because he went to Texas. It started from then. Ebola first appeared in 1976 near the Ebola River where it took its name.
The Ebola disease is caused by one of four ebola variants, BDBV, EBOV, SUDV or TAFV. They all come from the same place, however; Congo. Where the first Ebola virus was first found.
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.
Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. There are five identified Ebola virus species, four of which are known to cause disease in humans: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Taï Forest virus and Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). The fifth, Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus), has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.
Nobody invents diseases. They are caused by micro-organisms that invade our bodies.
Right now, Ebola is. The black death or the plague is caused by a bacteria and can be treated with an antibiotic. Smallpox is also dangerous but can be contained by a vaccine.
Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an ebolavirus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches.
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).
Ebola hf stands for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
