Reply to comment by Avulpesvulpes in Many U.S. labs cannot test for Ebola strain behind Uganda's swelling outbreak by Avulpesvulpes

I saw one theory from the Ugandan ministry of health that children were eating fallen mangoes that infected animals had partially eaten? It’s more likely infected bush meat though
