The largest outbreak of the deadly diseaseAPoisonous Snakes BAdders in BritainCTake Care of Snake Bites D. Protect Endangered Adders CThe largest outbreak of the deadly disease Ebola(埃博拉)Was caused by an infected bat biting a baby ,say agroup of international researchers.The 17-strong team of European and African tropical disease researchers ,ecologists and anthropologists(人类学家）have spent three weeks investigating the outbreak of the disease in Guinea ,Liberia ,Ivory Coast andNigeria.The researchers caught the bats and other creatures near the village of Meliandoua in remote eastern Guinea,Where the present epidemic(流行病)began in December 2013.The boy was bitten and passed the infection on to his mother and both were dead within a week .The disease was then spread far and wide by mourners who came to the funeral .Scientists have long believed that bats are the main carriers for the disease but it is rare for them to pass it on to man ,Most of the previous outbreaks have been caused by meat from dead infected animals collected by hunterswho then sell it onFruit bats however ,are widely eaten in rural west Africa-either smoked ,grilled(烤)or in a spicy soup.Initial research believed that a new strain(类型)of Ebola had appeared in west Africa but according to HerrLeendertz ,the strain of the disease is one related to as Zaire Ebola ,identified more than 10 years ago in theCongo .Herr Leendertz，team believe that an infected straw-colored fruit bat brought the disease to Guinea .The mammals are known to travel long distances and usually settle in forests near cities .More than 1,300 people have died in the current epidemic，many in Liberia .Herr Leendertz said:“We spentEight days in Meliandoua .They told us they regularly catch bats ,like every other village in Guenea ,Sierra Leoneand Liberia .The evidence is not 100 percent and usually settle in forests near cities. ”“They can travel far in one night .I dont think an individual bat or colony(群体)migrated all the way fromCongo or Gabon to west AfricaThese big colonies are connected .There is a possibility for the virus to mixbetween colonies . The bats share the same fruit .It is likely not to have even been one species of bat .The virus 高三(上)英语期末试卷第6页 共12页may jump from one species to another.”“If the bat theory is confirmed ,locals would try to destroy the colonies ,which would be an ecologicaldisaster because bats pollinate plants and consume insects ,and bat hunts would also only increase human contactwith potentially infected animals ”,says Herr Lrrnfrtyz.64The present epidemic of Ebola began in _.
