  • Title: Isolation and partial characterisation of a new strain of Ebola virus.
    Author: Le Guenno B, Formenty P, Wyers M, Gounon P, Walker F, Boesch C.
    Journal: Lancet; 1995 May 20; 345(8960):1271-4. PubMed ID: 7746057.
    Abstract:
    We have isolated a new strain of Ebola virus from a non-fatal human case infected during the autopsy of a wild chimpanzee in the Côte-d'Ivoire. The wild troop to which this animal belonged has been decimated by outbreaks of haemorrhagic syndromes. This is the first time that a human infection has been connected to naturally-infected monkeys in Africa. Data from the long-term survey of this troop of chimpanzees could answer questions about the natural reservoir of the Ebola virus.
