TL;DR: Recovered carcasses were infected by a variety of Ebola strains, suggesting that Ebola outbreaks in great apes result from multiple virus introductions from the natural host.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Survey results conservatively indicate that ape populations in Gabon declined by more than half between 1983 and 2000, and gorillas and common chimpanzees should be elevated immediately to ‘critically endangered’ status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ebola Outbreak Killed 5000 Gorillas
Magdalena Bermejo,José Domingo Rodríguez-Teijeiro,Germán Illera,Alex Barroso,Carles Vilà,Peter D. Walsh +5 more
TL;DR: Data is presented suggesting that in 2002 and 2003 ZEBOV killed about 5000 gorillas in the study area, evidence that group-to-group transmission has amplified gorilla die-offs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild animal mortality monitoring and human Ebola outbreaks, Gabon and Republic of Congo, 2001-2003.
Pierre Rouquet,Jean-Marc Froment,Magdalena Bermejo,Annelisa M. Kilbourn,William B. Karesh,Patricia Reed,Brice Kumulungui,Philippe Yaba,André Délicat,Pierre E. Rollin,Eric M. Leroy +10 more
TL;DR: An animal mortality monitoring network in Gabon and the Republic of Congo has demonstrated potential to predict and possibly prevent human Ebola outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Western gorilla diet: a synthesis from six sites.
M. Elizabeth Rogers,Katharine Abernethy,Magdalena Bermejo,Chloé Cipolletta,Diane M. Doran,Kelley McFarland,Tomoaki Nishihara,Melissa J. Remis,Caroline E. G. Tutin +8 more
TL;DR: It was confirmed that the western gorilla diet is always eclectic, including up to 230 items and 180 species, and eight plant families provide important foods at five, or all six, sites, suggesting that it may be possible in the future to predict which habitats are the most suitable for gorillas.
