So it the current theory that Civet cats are the Ebola reservoir rather than fruit bats?

I remember the discussion was about the SARS virus and its origin which turned out that the reservoir was in the Civet cat. The discussion wasn't about Ebolavirus of the filoviradae which is believed to be carried by the fruitbats as is Marburg and Lassa. However the discussion did suspect a morbillivirus of the Paramyxoviridae that affected horses and humans and carried by the fruit bat in Australia. We suspected it first because of the respiratory component of SARS. Mother Abigail's discussion was prompted by the SARS breakout and was investigated by a researcher because the discussions were appropriate and very close to the truth.

In other words, don’t drink the Civet cat poop coffee. At $100/lb, it’s probably not worth it financially, anyway.
