Infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest are being considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus. The outbreak of the deadly Ebola feverhas rekindled concerns about the health risks of age-old African hunting and eating traditions that bring humans into close contact with wild forest animals.
