Evidence of latency reshapes our understanding of Ebola virus reservoir dynamics

John T. McCrone, Guy Baele, Ifeanyi F. Omah, Eddy Kinganda-Lusamaki, Joseph A. Brew, Luiz Max Carvalho, Nicola Felix Müller, Gytis Dudas, Placide Mbala-Kingebeni, Marc A. Suchard, Andrew Rambaut

This study models latency in Ebola virus using a novel phylogenetic approach, finding evidence of extended quiescence in the reservoir, which changes understanding of its evolutionary history and geographic spread.
