The first indication for the
manifestation of Zaire ebola virus in naturally infected fruit bats was
recorded by recognition of viral RNA and antibodies in three treeroosting
species: Hypsignathus monstrosus, Epomops franqueti,
Myonycteris torquata and therefore have been associated as the
potential fall over source for ebola virus[17]. Zaire ebola virus
has not been well isolated from naturally infected animals.
