Ebola virus is unlikely to become endemic in West Africa

Authors/Creators

Description

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Concern over Ebola becoming endemic in West Africa has appeared in the medical and lay media. Routes of transmission, rates of viral evolution, suitability of humans as hosts and rarity of spillover events make this very unlikely. Without evidence that endemic Ebola is likely, ending epidemics should remain the focus.
