    Some of the African people do actually eat bats. That's how it is transmitted to humans. This can answer your question, because in the video it says it remains unknown in 3:03. :) You're welcome!

      Because the blood will not coagulate, and when they try to put a needle in the patient for a blood transfusion, the needle puncture bleeds profusely. Therefore, they can't perform a blood transfusion, for risk of the patient bleeding too much through even the smallest puncture.

    There's a slight correction to be made about the facts presented in this video. The incubation period for Ebola stated at the start of this video was between 2 to 20 days, which is very close to being correct, the correct incubation period for Ebola can range from 2 to 21 days.

      It is not just in Africa. It really is everywhere. Ebola comes from places that don't have good access to water and sanitation (and even toilets) it can also come from pepole who travel overseas in 2-20 days after getting ebola and who spread the Ebola through bodily fluids that comes from a human.

    There's a lot of interesting things on the epidemiology of ebola outbreaks, and the possible zoonotic link (still not proven).
    On the first hand, it looks like most of the outbreaks are not related to the ones before them, rather new outbursts from their natural reservoir (for which only bat's been found with antigens or antobodies against the virus). There's been an intensive quest since the 70's in zaire (now Republic of Congo) on the natural reservoir's host. But just reacently we've found it on some bats, but not necessarily related to a given outbreak.

    • @kucasmukas7942
      @kucasmukas7942 8 лет назад

      +nemodot Maybe those bats contracted the disease from people and not the other way around. You'd think there were more signs of it if it originated from animals instead of weapons laboratory. I read an article where a team of scientist managed logate the very tree suspected of generating the first outbreak in the seventies, but it just happened to burn down right before they arrived. No signs of Ebola, though.

    • @nemodot
      @nemodot 8 лет назад
