7 June 2016 ? A groundbreaking new study into the Ebola virus has revealed that hotspots for the disease may be more widespread, and carried by a greater number of animal species, than previously suspected. Findings also highlighted a strong link between the Ebola virus and tropical rainforests, contributing valuable knowledge to efforts to contain the spread of the ongoing outbreak in West Africa.
The study, published in science journal Mammal Review, was carried out by a research team led by scientists John Fa and Robert Nasi from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), together with Jes?s Olivero and colleagues from the University of M?laga, including US virologist Jean Paul Gonzalez and Zoological Society of London wildlife epidemiologist Andrew Cunningham.
