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.
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).
It is thought to be from primates but there is also some think that maybe fruit bats are involved.
No, Germany did not create Ebola. The Ebola virus was first identified in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The virus is believed to have originated from wildlife, particularly fruit bats, and it is not a product of human invention. Research and studies on Ebola have been conducted globally, including in Germany, but there is no evidence of any country creating the virus.
Only if some one who handled it has 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.
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 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.
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! 😄
Fruit bats eat fruit.
Some bats do eat fruit, and there are varieties of bats that are known as fruit bats.
Ebola is caused by the Ebola virus, which is transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals, such as fruit bats or primates, and spreads among people through bodily fluids. Prevention strategies include practicing good hygiene, using personal protective equipment (PPE) in healthcare settings, and avoiding contact with infected individuals or animals. Vaccination, such as the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine, has been effective in outbreak control. Additionally, public health education and rapid response to outbreaks are crucial in managing and preventing the spread of Ebola.
fruit bats eat fruit daaaah!!
