All harshness aside, I find it interesting that a new genus of ebolavirus was discovered, and I agree that this lends credence to bats as the reservoir for this family. That said, these studies DO NOT justify the hype the authors tried to drum up. No relevance for Ebola disease.

See how I said 'genus'? Yeah, I get stuff wrong too (a lot - just don't tell anybody!) when it comes to ebolavirus phylogeny - I, of course, meant to say species

So what is the species def for ebola? Is that by analogy / distance? Is there a clear delineation?

Hah! Yeah, good question - they're basically just arbitrary boxes... As for my strategy - I just do whatever Jens (not_on_twitter) Kuhn tells me what to do...
