Wave-like spread of Ebola Zaire.

PLoS biology - 1 Nov 2005

Walsh Peter D, Biek Roman, Real Leslie A

Abstract excerpt

In the past decade the Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) has emerged repeatedly into human populations in central Africa and caused massive die-offs of gorillas and chimpanzees. We tested the view that emergence events are independent and caused by ZEBOV variants that have been long resident at each locality. Phylogenetic analyses place the earliest known outbreak at Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo, very...
