A number of people in Germany wondered whether they could be infected with Ebola through fruit from Africa. The 'Deutsche Fruchthandelsverband e.V.' (DFHV) turned to the Bernhard-Nocht-institute for tropical healing (BNITM) for the answer in August. The BNITM is the collaborative centre of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the national reference centre for this disease. The answer was clear: the import of fresh fruits and vegetables from Africa is safe and cannot transmit the Ebola virus.
