Scientists have created a new map of places most at risk of an Ebola outbreak and say regions likely to be home to animals harbouring the virus are more widespread than previously feared, particularly in West Africa.
(...) jumps by viruses from animals to humans are known as “zoonotic events” and were the cause of major human disease outbreaks such as HIV and the H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
The new map (...) found that large swathes of central Africa as well as the western part of the continent have traits of what the scientists called “the zoonotic niche” for Ebola.
