According to this Article it might be monkeys


:: Scientists do not know the natural reservoir of the virus.They suspect the first victim in an Ebola outbreak gets infected through contact with an infected animal, such as a monkey."

I do remember years ago when their was an epidemic , but still no cure !!

This is scary , there is NO CURE for Ebola and is spreading to other Countries.

I READ A FEW DAYS AGO THAT THEY RECKONED FRUIT BATS TO BE THE SPREADER OF THE EBOLA VIRUS.

Apparently that is one of the causes but more worrying it has spread to another Country.

This is the latest news on Wikipaedia, a big increase as you can see.

I READ ARTICLE IN NATURE MAGAZINE THAT A CERTAIN FRUIT BAT IS SUSPECTED TO BE CULPRIT.
ESTIMATED 150 MILLION PEOPLE BELIEVED TO BE AT RISK.

Badboy,

I had a look through other reports and no mention of fruit bats being the cause , apparently the virus spreads very rapidly and at the moment there is no way to contain it.

200 DEAD

Hi Badboy, good to see you are keeping Ebola in the news ,, this crisis is not over and Ebola is untreatable , that is the most worrying.

The Video really shows how serious this is , I'm surprised the World Health Organisation is not getting involved .

READ A REPORT IN GUARDIAN,EBOLA IS BELIEVED TO BE PRESENT IN THE CAPITALS OF LIBERIA,SIERA LEONE AND GUINEA.

It's very worrying Badboy, apparently there are many who won't admit they have symptons because it would mean isolation and death because there is no cure.

MANY HAVE TURNED TO TRADATIONAL HEALERS,WHO THEMSELVES HAVE BECOME INFECTED.

Because there is no cure, anyone suspected of having caught the bug is isolated in a deserted village in some cases because a Nurse contracted the virus and even she couldn't be saved.
