dc.description.abstract | We used ecologic niche modeling of outbreaks and
sporadic cases of filovirus-associated hemorrhagic fever
(HF) to provide a large-scale perspective on the geographic
and ecologic distributions of Ebola and Marburg viruses.
We predicted that filovirus would occur across the
Afrotropics: Ebola HF in the humid rain forests of central
and western Africa, and Marburg HF in the drier and more
open areas of central and eastern Africa. Most of the predicted
geographic extent of Ebola HF appear to have been
observed; Marburg HF has the potential to occur farther
south and east. Ecologic conditions appropriate for Ebola
HF are also present in Southeast Asia and the Philippines,
where Ebola Reston is hypothesized to be distributed. This
first large-scale ecologic analysis provides a framework for
a more informed search for taxa that could constitute the
natural reservoir for this virus family. | |
