No need : Unless you are in Africa where the disease is present, you do not need to worry about it. You and your pets should be safe.

Rabbits: Current data suggests certain fruit bat and primate species are the carriers of the ebola virus. Rabbits are not known to be a problem. Furthermore, the virus is currently only found in four countries in Africa. Outside those areas, there is no likely way for a rabbit to come into contact with the virus.
