This forest area is a natural reservoir of the Ebola virus. This is spread by contact with excretions or bodily fluids of infected animals or humans and the main defense is rigorous hygiene. As of early 2014, no vaccine has been approved for humans though there are candidates at various stages of research. Consult a doctor for details if planning a trip.
