The current school of thought is that bats, which harbor a large number of zoonotic viruses (ones that can be passsed from one species to another) without ill effects to the bat are the primary source of infection in the current
out break. Other species of animals can transmit the virus as well, however, they are considered to be short term vectors as the disease is also terminal
for them as well.
Currently the WHO (World Health Organization) is blaming the outbreak on the consumption of bats and a number of countries have banned the sale and consumption of bats.
What else can I help you with?
Was Ebola created by man?
no it was created by a monkey
What are some facts about Ebola?
well you have to go into a certain part of Africa to get it but if you get bit by one of the monkey's you will get Ebola
What continent is the Ebola virus from?
It is said that ebola came from the green monkey in Africa, but that has not actually been proven.
Did Ebola start from people eating monkey brains?
Ebola did not start from people eating monkey brains. The virus is believed to originate from fruit bats, which are natural hosts, and can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals, including primates like monkeys and apes. Human outbreaks often occur after people hunt or consume these animals, but the idea of eating monkey brains specifically is a misconception. The transmission typically involves direct contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals or animals.
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! 😄
What bats are nocturnal?
Fijian Monkey Bats and they are critically endangered
Did Germany create Ebola?
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.
Is there any animals in Utah that carry the Ebola virus?
No, there are no known animals in Utah that carry the Ebola virus. Ebola is primarily associated with certain species of bats and non-human primates in specific regions of Africa. The virus is not endemic to the United States, and there have been no reported cases of Ebola in wildlife within Utah. Therefore, the risk of encountering Ebola in Utah is extremely low.
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).
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.
Do monkey eat bats?
No they don't.
