(+5321) 2014 Ebola outbreak has been traced to a single infection from the natural reservoir of the virus to a human followed by human-to-human transmission. This new study uses sequences of 99 Ebola virus genomes from 78 patients in Sierra Leone to ~2,000x coverage. Five co-authors died....

Genomic analysis of the Ebola virus from the current west African outbreak shows an elevated number of "nonsynonymous mutations which suggests that continued progression of this epidemic could afford an opportunity for viral adaptation". In other words, Ebola might be adapting to a human host. User PoliticBot, in the Politics without suppression subreddit, 29 Aug 2014
