Why have large outbreaks of Ebola virus killed tens of thousands of gorillas and chimpanzees over the last decade? Observations published in the May issue of The American Naturalist provide new clues, suggesting that outbreaks may be amplified by Ebola transmission between ape social groups. The study provides hope that newly developed vaccines could control the devastating impact of Ebola on wild apes.

Closely inspect? On https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=167309" for other species doesn't seem like a very good idea to me. Why?

Ebola Vaccination for other species is a somewhat fair idea. Provided that it is carried out correctly, it might limit dangers for humans.
