You're correct. I was thinking of Lassa when I wrote Hantavirus. Of course, Hantavirus was responsible for the "Four Corners" virus in N. America, and more commonly in S. America, if I recall correctly.
It's been over a decade since I worked in infectious disease epi, and even then not in tropical diseases, so I'm lucky to remember anything at all.
But my point stands: Africa is full of hemorrhagic fevers, which makes symptomatic diagnosis of Ebola difficult.
