The BBC is reporting that fruit bats might finally have been confirmed as the reservoir for Ebola. It's been a suspicion for a long time among many virologists that bats were carriers of Ebola (and potentially other filoviruses), so it's good news all round if it's true: we can now work on ways to contain the disease. If we don't, there a good chance that most of the great apes of Africa are going to get wiped out very soon as Ebola makes its way westwards.
