What about the Fruit Bat news recently (I know I already hit this twice, but I keep getting questions...)?

Recently (January 2006) Scientists from the IRD and the CIRMF detected specific Ebola virus antibodies in the serum of three species of tropical fruit bats and revealed the presence of viral genome fragments in the liver and spleen of these bats. This discovery should not be confused with finding the reservoir or vector of Ebola - this simply indicates that it is possible that Ebola infected bats could survive and transmit the virus to primates. This does not indicate that bats are the natural reservoir, just that it is a possibility.

If you have questions about the web site you can contact me at: me@brettrussell.com. Please do NOT contact me and ask me to send you all of the information from this web site, or to ask me to help you with your term paper on Ebola - but if you are really nice and find my site useful and give me a donation since I pay for all of this myself, I’ll be really kind to you.
