Origins of Ebola
Scientists know that the Ebola virus does not naturally occur in humans
Humans help transmit the virus when they come in contact with another animal species
but scientists are not sure of the exact origins of the ebola
the virus almost always occurs in remote villages in africa scientists have a theory
in many of these villages the villagers hunt monkeys in the jungle for much of their food
one recent case of ebola was found in the philippines
people were eating pigs and the meat was infected with the virus
they speculate that there might be a link one case occurred in the united states in reston virginia in 1989
but this did not involve hunting wild animals
to this day the ebola virus is one of the deadliest viruses on the plant
it is considered worse than cancer or hiv
