Fig. 1

a | Outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Africa, including the number of confirmed cases, the case fatality rates and the number of publicly available Ebola virus (EBOV) draft genome sequences per outbreak, are depicted3. Circles represent the relative size (in terms of the number of cases) of the outbreaks. Documented accidental laboratory-acquired infections have been excluded from this figure. b | Overview of global filovirus distribution, excluding EBOV. The place of isolation, known or suspected reservoir host and year of discovery are shown. The description of the distribution of non-EBOV filovirus disease outbreaks includes the total number of confirmed cases and the case fatality rate. BDBV, Bundibugyo virus; BOMV, Bombali virus; HUJV, Huángjiāo virus; LLOV, Lloviu virus; MARV, Marburg virus; MLAV, Měnglà virus; RAVV, Ravn virus; RESTV, Reston virus; SUDV, Sudan virus; TAFV, Taï Forest virus; XILV, Xīlǎng virus.
