As far as we know, Ebola attacks mostly primates. There is some indication that it may also attack the Afrtican Fruit Bat (and by inference, other mammals as well). Some variants of Ebola, notably Ebola reston, were lethal to monkeys but apparently infected humans although -- in humans -- it remained asymptomatic. Bear in mind that we suspect Ebola has been misdiagnosed quite often, as its symptomology is very similar to many other disorders indigenous to Ebola locale.
