Abstract
There are currently no widely accepted animal surveillance guidelines for human Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak investigations to identify potential sources of Ebolavirus (EBOV) spillover into humans and other animals. This article provides guidelines for identifying animal sources of disease outbreaks, specifically sources of Ebolavirus (EBOV) during outbreaks of human Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF). Guidance is given on sampling animals when resources are limited, when targeting specific species, and when rapid diagnosis of EBOV in animal reservoirs is necessary.
