...People always assumed it was the same for gorillas," says Walsh. This belief made particular sense since gorillas live in relatively compact packs that don't interact much with other packs. Ebola, however, is oddly aggressive in great apes, ignoring pack boundaries and advancing across great-ape habitats at a rate of about 29 miles a year. Heading into the field to study the outbreaks, as well as animal behavior that could be contributing to them, Walsh and his team soon cracked the mystery...
...subsists mostly on leaves, which are available all over the forest. Western gorillas, by contrast, live mostly on fruit, a scarcer resource that draws different groups of gorillas and chimpanzees to the same trees at different times of day. "They defecate and urinate in and around the trees," says Walsh, leaving infected body fluids to sicken the next group. Gorillas also examine the bodies of dead apes they come upon, perhaps because they're smart enough to want to know if whatever claimed that life is a threat to them. This provides another means of direct transmission...
...talking about massive vaccination anymore," says Walsh. "We're talking about getting a vaccine into key gorilla populations." And the cost? Perhaps as little as $2 million--chump change, Walsh calls it, to save our closest evolutionary kin from extinction...
