Silent Footprints of Ebolavirus in the Forest: Serological Clues from Wild Non-Human Primates in the Democratic Republic of Congo

2026-03-09

Abstract excerpt

Filoviruses, particularly Ebola virus (EBOV), remain a major public health concern in Central Africa. However, their circulation in wildlife during inter-epidemic periods remains poorly documented. Non-human primates (NHPs) may serve as ecological sentinels of viral dynamics at human-forest interfaces, yet surveillance is constrained by the limitations of invasive sampling. We conducted a non-invasive investigatio...
