Who Or What Provoked EBOLA? by LIC3ion(m): 11:08am On Sep 05, 2014
In 1976, Ebola (named after the Ebola river in Zaire) first emerged in Sudan and Zaire. The first outbreak of Ebola (Ebola-Sudan) infected over 284 people with mortality rate of 53%. A few months later, the second Ebola virus emerged from Yambuku, Zaire, Ebola-Zaire (EBOZ). EBOZ with the highest mortality rate of any of the Ebola viruses(88%) infected 318 people.
Despite the tremendous effort of experienced and dedicated researchers, Ebola natural reservoir was never identified. The third strain of Ebola, Ebola Reston(EBOR) was identified in 1989 when infected monkeys were imported into Reston, Virginia, from Mindanao in the Philippines. Fortunately, the few people who were infected with EBOR(seroconverted) never developed Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF).
The last known strain of Ebola, Ebola Cote d'Ivoire (EBO-CI) was discovered in 1994 when a female ethologist performing a necropsy on a dead chimpanzee from the Tai forest, Cote d'Ivoire accidentally infected herself during the necropsy.
Then, Ebola became Pandemic and seemed contained/controlled. But in 2014, this year, it sprang up again. The question is;
"WHO OR WHAT PROVOKED EBOLA?"
