The wildlife reservoir and spillover mechanisms of the Ebola virus remain elusive despite extensive research efforts in endemic areas.

In 2021, we collected 1015 samples from 888 animals, predominantly small mammals, 380 inhabitants Inkanamongo village, site an disease outbreak 2014. These were screened for evidence current (RNA) or past (IgG...
Abstract Over the past decades, number of arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) outbreaks has increased worldwide. Knowledge regarding sylvatic cycle (i.e., non-human hosts/environment) arboviruses is limited, particularly in Africa, and main hosts for maintenance are unknown. Previous studies have shown presence antibodies against certain chikungunya-, dengue- zika virus) African primates bats. We hypothesize that small mammals, specifically rodents, may function as amplifying anthropogenic...
