The road is called the Kinshasa Highway which stretches across Africa from Point-Noire on the 
West Coast, through the Rainforest in Zaire to Mombasa on the East Coast of Kenya.  Some 
contend that this highway facilitated the spread of the disease(s) by allowing otherwise isolated 
villages to contact others.  Others try to debunk this theory.  But then again, who would have 
thought that a Legionare's convention a number of years ago could have had anything to do with 
the discovery of a new disease?
