Bombali Ebolavirus in Mops condylurus Bats (Molossidae), Mozambique
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We detected Bombali ebolavirus RNA in 3 free-tailed bats (Mops condylurus, Molossidae) in Mozambique. Sequencing of the large protein gene revealed 98% identity with viruses previously detected in Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Guinea.

Ebolavirus Evolution: Past and Present
PLOS Pathogens, 2015 The past year has marked the most devastating Ebola outbreak the world has ever witnessed, with over 28,000 cases and over 11,000 deaths. Ebola virus (EBOV) has now been around for almost 50 years. In this review, we discuss past and present outbreaks of EBOV and how those variants evolved over time.
