| When transferred to humans from an unidentified animal reservoir, Ebola virus replicates rapidly in macrophages and dendritic cells, causing intense inflammation, high viremia, and spread of infection to multiple organs, with fever, coagulation abnormalities, and shock (10). Between 2001 and 2005, Ebola virus ravaged the gorilla population in a remote section of equatorial Africa. According to WHO, the natural reservoir of the Ebola virus seems to reside in the rain forests of Africa and Asia, but has not yet been identified. |
