title: [Preliminary note on the presence of antibodies to Ebola virus in the human population in the eastern part of the Central African Republic].
abstract: The authors reported a preliminary serological survey on Ebola virus infection in Central African Republic. They have tested 499 sera samples by using indirect immunofluorescent technique. The positivity with Ebola antigen was 3,4% (17 cases). It has been found a high antibody titre (greater than or equal to 1/64) with 3 sera, which reflects a possible recent contact with Ebola virus.
