There seems to be a lack of information of the virus in chimp populations, which it mostly affects. I want to add more of the history of the virus in chimp populations as it has caused large numbers to become infected with Ebola.

Transmission in Chimpanzees
General transmission methods such as grooming or caring for other chimpanzees has been proven incorrect for TAFV[1]. Researchers believe that the main transmission of the 1994 outbreak was caused by contaminated prey[2]. Chimpanzees will hunt Red Colobus once a day. Studies have shown that the chimpanzees who partook in the hunting and eating of the same Red Colobus a few days before each wave of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, contracted and died from the disease.[3]
