Humans: are not the natural reservoir for any of these viruses because Ebola spread because of wild animals as of 2013, an epidemic of Ebola viruses (EVD) is ongoing in West Africa.
The epidemic began in Guinea , Liberia , Sierra Leone and then Ghana. Ebola victims are circulating in the whole world which can affect the whole world and can lead to a big natural disaster. World scientist said this fever is caused by the animal reservoir host or arthropod vector.

The multimammate rat, cotton rat, deer mouse, house mouse and other field rodents are of hosts. These type of animals are mostly found in wild places and when these animals get sick they create dangerous viruses, so when humans touch them or smell them they get infected then these victims transmit this virus to other.
Doctors say stop your contact with fruit bats and monkeys. They say animal should be handled with gloves. Although the hosts of some viruses remain unknown.
