A team of scientists tried to pinpoint how the Ebola epidemic in West Africa started. They explored an area
in southeastern Guinea 41 2-year-old Emile Ouamouno fell ill around two years ago and died. Health
officials believe he was the first case, and it is reported that he may have been 42 by bats.
The epidemic’s exact 43 has never been determined, but the virus is thought to spread to people from
some sort of animal. Many experts have suspected some species of fruit bat as the source, while others wonder if
the epidemic started through another animal—like a chimpanzee or small antelope—that had got Ebola from bats
before 44 by people. The Ebola virus wasn’t found in the bats the scientists tested, so they weren’t able to
prove the source. Yet, they believe the first Ebola 45 got Ebola from bats that had lived in a hollowed-out
tree. The boy was said to have played in the hollow tree a lot.
