Fig. 2 — Complete or coding-complete filovirus genome sequences have been obtained from cave-dwelling and house-dwelling bats and highly diverse fish on the African, Asian and European continents (see Fig. 1 for continental distribution). The pathogenic potential of most filoviruses remains unclear, as does the transmission route of pathogenic filoviruses proven to infect humans and pigs or of pathogenic filoviruses suspected to infect chimpanzees, duikers and gorillas. Animals that have been proven to be infected by filoviruses are indicated in black; grey animals are suspected but unproven reservoirs of the indicated viruses. Solid arrows indicate highly likely transmission routes; dashed arrows indicate hypothesized transmission routes. BDBV, Bundibugyo virus; BOMV, Bombali virus; EBOV, Ebola 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, Xīlàng virus.
