Am I to believe that animals can transmit the ebola virus?

More reason to isolate and observe Ms. Pham’s pet dog.

The disease is believed to be endemic to Pteropodidae, Old World Fruit bats. These don’t eat mosquitos, which aren’t vectors. These communal bats are old species carrying some nasty viruses. It does not kill them outright. Monkeys, apes and people are not natural carriers of the virus. It’s burns through us, killing people quickly. The consumption of bat meat must end.
