Abstract

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Mpox outbreak, the Sudan Ebolavirus (SUDV) had arisen as a new menace in Uganda. Multiple human epidemics in Africa have been traced back to four genetically distinct strains: Sudan ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo virus, and Taï Forest virus. While African fruit bats are thought to be a reservoir host for the ebola virus, scientists throughout the world are looking for confirmatory evidences that bats play a significant role in the spread of the disease.
