THIS outbreak came from a single bite from a bat.

Nope, not proven. Bats were the vector elsewhere in Africa, but there's no evidence of them causing the first case in Guinea.

One of the African newspapers interviewed the remaining (alive) villagers and one of them remembered the child having an animal bite.

But it’s certainly endemic there in various wildlife pools.
