In 1976 a deadly virus emerged from the Congo forest. As swiftly as
it came, it disappeared, leaving no trace. Over the four decades
since, Ebola has emerged sporadically, each time to devastating
effect. It can kill up to 90 percent of its victims. In between
these outbreaks, it is untraceable, hiding deep in the jungle. The
search is on to find Ebola's elusive host animal. And until we find
it, Ebola will continue to strike. Acclaimed science writer and
explorer David Quammen first came near the virus while he was
traveling in the jungles of Gabon, accompanied by local men whose
village had been devastated by a recent outbreak. Here he tells the
story of Ebola-its past, present, and its unknowable future.
Extracted from Spillover by David Quammen, updated and with
additional material.
