Unlikely: Fruit is not a source of the passage of any virus. Oranges are peeled and the fruit inside is generally sterile. The oranges would have to have been harvested by someone with the illness who deliberately put secretions inside the peel. Anyone with active ebola has greater concerns than contaminating oranges.
