EBOV - sequences labelled as Gabon, 2015 are actually lab isolates from animals by a Gabon 2001 strain

[rambaut]

35 genomes are listed as being from Gabon and collected in 2015. These are all the result of lab innoculation of Macaques in the lab with a strain from Gabon in 2001. So the collection country should be changed to reflect where the macaques were housed, or the collection date changed (if it should reference the original strain). Or some other solution.

Example:
PP_000N5LB.4
KY471092
Ebola virus/cynomolgus macaque-wt/GAB/2001/100ffu-CB118D5

Full list attached.

Another set of 92 genomes, also macaque lab experiments. These are labelled with the collection date and country of the original isolate so are more consistent but could be labelled as lab.
