How did the Ebola virus originate?

Anna - 10/10.

From a movie I saw some time ago, they said it could've come from an infected animal. If you want some more info that's more clear you could check out the cdc web page.

The Ebola virus first originated in 1976 when there were outbreaks of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in Zaire and Sudan. The virus is said to be transmitted to a human through contact with infected animals.From the first human infected, the virus is then transmitted by human contact with infected blood and bodily fluids of an infected person.Both of these mechanisms will occur in clinical and non-clinical situations. Due to the high fatality rate and the often remote areas where the infections occur,the outbreak is considered low.Ebola is also believed to be a zoonotic virus as it is currently devastating the population of lowland gorillas in Central Africa.The Ebola virus is deadly and its symptoms are general pain,fever,vomitting,diarrhoea and sometimes both internal and external bleeding.Death rates are extremely high due to hypovolemic shock or organ failure.The virus is named after the Ebola River Valley in Zaire.
