Not to pile on the misery, but what do you think of Paladin`s warning of the possible establishment of a wild and native population reservoir in North America? This thing is zoonotic, didn`t that happen with Yrsinia Pestis and rodentia out West?

I don’t know enough, and I don’t think any of us do. It clearly has a zoonotic reservoir in tropical Africa, but we do not have a similar fauna to that area. Whether it can survive and establish itself in animals common to north america remains to be seen. I sure hope not.
