The spin machine is once again running hot - "Deadly Ebola Virus Is Found in Liberian Bat, Researchers Say": https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/health/ebola-bat-liberia-epidemic.html …
This @nytimes article states "Scientists have long suspected that bats were a natural host of Ebola and a source of some human infections, but until now they had not found any bats that harbored the epidemic species". This is wrong - EBOV was sequenced (fragments) in bats in 2005
Here's the link to that original Nature article sequencing PCR fragments of Ebola virus sequences obtained in multiple bat specimens:https://www.nature.com/articles/438575a …
Here's the press release from @EcoHealthNYC - well crafted and measured. I agree with them that discovering EBOV in a bat in West Africa is interesting - only, I could do without the hype (which isn't too bad in this release!).

It's fantastic how they can tell that it is infecting humans and causing symptomatic, lethal infection from "... enough data to suggest to me that it is Ebola Zaire in this bat." Click-bait algorithm: IF ebola THEN deadly epidemic, run for the hills.
