Excerpt

Since their discovery 40 years ago, Ebola viruses (in the following: EBOV; family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus) continue to emerge unpredictably and cause Ebola virus disease (EVD) in humans and susceptible animals in tropical Africa (Leroy et al. 2004; Feldmann and Geisbert 2011). The scale of the current epidemic in West Africa demonstrates the impact that a single spillover event can have (Baize et al. 2014; Gire et al. 2014). Meanwhile, the reservoir(s) and ecology of EBOV remain largely unknown (Groseth et al. 2007; Feldmann and Geisbert 2011), hampering prediction of future outbreaks. …

This children’s game also goes by whisper down the lane or telephone, depending on the country where it is played. While the pioneering studies discussed below were well done and careful to state that their evidence did not confirm the sole or ultimate reservoir, this message of restraint has been lost in some recent reviews and popular media. Our goal here is to reiterate the original message and highlight future directions.
