The Texas facility also reported an outbreak of Ebola Reston in 1990. In that incident, several monkeys died but there were no human infections. Ebola has been diagnosed in primates in the South Texas Primate Center which breeds for medical use. Apparently source is from Phillipines breeder. My understanding is that all sources deliver non wildlife animals, yet it has appeared.
Questions are if wildlife has been imported to the phillipines and distributed planetarily.
More info to follow. Ours is a 150 year old ranching enterprise only fifteen miles away and the neo-tropical bird migration is underway full swing. Hundreds of migratory insectorvor raptors have been observed in the vicinity of the primate center today and I wonder if viable ebola sources are present in their sphere of influence. If there is any interest I will post further. Employees at the SouthTexas Primate facility report tonight just now, that the State of Texas and the U.S. CDC representatives verified that the dealer supplied 100 monkeys, where 2 tested positive for a unknown virus, was in fact not ebola, but filo-virus.
