Epidemiological and Epizootiological Investigations of Filoviruses in the Central African Republic
Abstract
A member of the filovirus group is active in the CAR, as demonstrated by significant seropositivity rates in human populations as well as in different animal species (rodents, dogs, cattle, chicken). Infection by this virus seems not usually associated with severe illness or hemorrhagic signs. Further studies are needed: (1) isolate and characterize the member of filovirus group, (2) establish the biological significance of filovirus antibodies, (3) define the epidemiology of filovirouses in CAR.
