Figure 1

Locations of known Ebola virus spillover events, Africa, 1960–2010. Brown region indicates the focal region in Africa of annual rainfall >500 mm. Open circles indicate human spillovers, open triangles infection/mortality in nonhuman primates or in other mammals. Yellow, blue, green, magenta, and black indicate the 5 respective decades during 1960–2010. Solid horizontal line marks the equator. No known Ebola spillovers occurred in the 1980s.
