The reservoir for this virus is puzzling.  Just the fact that ~ 15-20 
years has elapsed between outbreaks is curious.  I understand that no 
antibodies to Ebola were found in the bats.  Perhaps there is a 
climatological factor involved in the diseases' re-emergence.  Also many 
of the hemophoragic viruses are insect borne.  Any other thoughts?  Mary
