  abstract = {{Q}uestions remain as to whether an unnoticed {E}bola outbreak occurred in {G}uinea before the 2014-2016 epidemic. {T}o address this, we used a highly sensitive and specific {L}uminex-based assay for {E}bola virus ({EBOV}) antibody detection to screen blood samples collected in the framework of the {D}emographic {H}ealth {S}urvey performed in 2012 in {G}uinea. {O}ne sample ({GF}069) of 1,483 tested was positive at very high immunoglobulin {G} titer to {Z}aire {EBOV} in {G}uinee {F}orestiere. {T}hus, at least 2 years before the 2014 {EVD} outbreak in {G}uinea, {Z}aire {EBOV} was circulating in rural areas of this country.},
