TL;DR: Data indicate common Egyptian fruit bats can represent a major natural reservoir and source of Marburg virus with potential for spillover into humans.

TL;DR: Due to the sequence divergence of this new virus relative to all previously recognized ebolaviruses, these findings have important implications for design of future diagnostic assays to monitor Ebola HF disease in humans and animals, and ongoing efforts to develop effective antivirals and vaccines.

TL;DR: Uganda was finally declared Ebola free on 27 February 2001, 42 days after the last case was reported, and all levels of the community spontaneously demonstrated solidarity and response to public health interventions.

TL;DR: Case-fatality rate is lower for this strain than for the other 3 Ebola species known to be pathogenic to humans.

TL;DR: This outbreak has progressed to become one of the largest hepatitis E outbreaks in the world and had caused illness in >10,196 persons and 160 deaths by June 2009.
