        Zoonotic disease transmission plays a role as well as poor safety practices (i.e.: not incinerating diseased corpses).

        How is Ebola spread between animals & people; and why doesn’t it happen to the same degree in America as it does on the continent of Africa?

        In America we have much more ready access to food raised through farming. The animal/human crossover of Ebola is at high risk in regions of Africa is the poor will people seek out "bush meat" from the jungle. Primates were discovered to be the vector of the disease when it (1)

        (2) was originally discovered in 1976. Due to no primate fauna in America, there is no spread of the disease. Also thanks to the CDC for keeping very close tabs on preventing any cases from flying in from all 4-corners, Ebola or otherwise.

        I should also note that zoonotic disease is primarily spread globally through the close contact of humans with domestic animals. This is the reason why influenza strains carry names like "swine flu" or "bird flu". Here's a good article on how it happens:https://bit.ly/2KCOW8c

        Wow. Interesting. However, I’m still unsure why Americans are not as susceptible as Africans, albeit, we don’t play with bats. Tragic the way this disease keeps tearing through African countries since I can remember. Perhaps cultural habits, lifestyle, medicinal access? Hmm . . .

        We had better act fast... send in the troops again - ala the Obama administration. Or we can wait and then shut down all direct flights from Europe ( there are no direct flights from Africa) and start detaining Americans arriving with a fever ( Chris Christy) in cages.
