Well, it can be seen as good news that Senegal and Nigeria's outbreaks are over and ours appears to be nearly so. Now all we have to do is hope the lesson is learned and that we won't get any new infections in ours and that everybody can avoid any new outbreaks cropping up and that the general public in the still epidemic countries have begun taking this more seriously that they were a few months ago. It really got so out of hand because of the number of people who didn't understand it, didn't want to understand it and did not believe it was real.

This is going to continue happening until it is eradicated at its source.
-
It won't be 'eradicated at it's source', but it will continue happening until this epidemic is over, yes.
-
What or who was "The source"?
-
An indeternimate number of mammal species in tropical/semitropical africa, but presumably mostly bats and monkeys. Nobody will be eradicating them any time soon.

Nor would we want to. Bats are prodigious insect eaters and plant pollinators. Attempting to eradicate them would invariably mean greater contact with man, which would increase the likelihood of infection IF they are the only source. Africa, like the rest of the world, is destroying important habitat forcing closer contact between wild animals and mankind. I saw a report earlier this week on chimpanzees staging night time raids on farms because they had discovered how easy it is to acquire food and because their forest homes are being destroyed to create those farms. That loss of habitat means bats are starting to choose homes and buildings as nesting sites. This is a situation that will only get worse as more and more lands are cleared if the remaining wild lands are not protected.
