    J Infect Dis 196:S176-83. 2007
    ..monstrosus females suggests virus transmission within bat populations through fighting and sexual contact. Our study, thus, helps to describe Ebola virus circulation in bats and offers some insight into the appearance of outbreaks...

    Xavier Pourrut
    Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement, UR 178, Marseille, France
    BMC Infect Dis 9:159. 2009
    ..Recently, bats of multiple species have been identified as possible natural hosts of Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) in Gabon and Republic of Congo, and also of marburgvirus (MARV) in Gabon and Democratic Republic of Congo...
