Thus, together the evidence for bats being the true reservoir host for EVD causing viruses is convincing, but relies on serological evidence of infection rather than virus detection, and the role of nonhuman primates as reservoirs remains uncertain. In other systems, archived sample banks have helped identify Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus-seropositive camels in East Africa over 11-year (Kenya) and 30-year (Sudan and Somalia) periods, suggesting extensive virus circulation in camels prior to the first human outbreaks [35] [36] [37] [38] . All of these studies are limited by data, but Ayouba et al's comprehensive study supports the assumption that bats, not primates, are likely reservoir hosts and that nonhuman primates may be viewed as both sentinels for human infection and victims of EVD [9, 15, 33, 51] .	./cache/cord-255927-0tp4ig4o.txt	./txt/cord-255927-0tp4ig4o.txt
