TL;DR: This paper presents sequence data and analysis of 142 EBOV samples collected during the period March to October 2015 and shows that real-time genomic surveillance is possible in resource-limited settings and can be established rapidly to monitor outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Ebola Virus Transmission Events and Rapid Decline of Central African Wildlife
Eric M. Leroy,Pierre Rouquet,Pierre Formenty,Sandrine Souquière,Annelisa Kilbourne,Jean-Marc Froment,Magdalena Bermejo,Sheilag Smit,William B. Karesh,Robert Swanepoel,Sherif R. Zaki,Pierre E. Rollin +11 more
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
Ecology of zoonoses: natural and unnatural histories

Bennett,Stephen Aldrich,Todd Harrington,Pierre Formenty,Elizabeth H. Loh,Catherine Machalaba,Mathew Thomas,David L Heymann,David L Heymann +17 more
TL;DR: This work aimed to review how zoonotic diseases result from natural pathogen ecology, and how other circumstances, such as animal production, extraction of natural resources, and antimicrobial application change the dynamics of disease exposure to human beings.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Improved surveillance and epidemiological analysis is needed to better assess the public health burden and develop strategies for reducing the risk of wider spread of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
