The dissemination of ebola disease in west africa

By Alfred Obi


The flare-up of Ebola illness in West Africa has been in the headlines for months. At its current size it represents the largest break out of the illness in known human history. This onset has spread over a few nations and cost many lives.

The Ebola illness in West Africa has a death rate of approximately 70%. This indicates that 7 out of 10 patients to contract the disease will die. It is accept that this number is essentially higher and that many deaths are going unreported within this area.

So far the flare-up has only influenced West Africa. Other nations and areas have had cases imported in by help worked but those cases have been treated and isolated. In this fashion the outburst is a difficulty that only impacts West Africa and people who work in that region.

The pathogen has been found in 6 different countries within West Africa. The nations affected by Ebola disease in West Africa are; Sierra Leone, Guinea, Mali, and Liberia. There were outbreaks in both Nigeria and Senegal but both states have been declared freed from Ebola pathogen since October of the present year.

The stop of the pathogen in these West African states leaves hope for the eventual containment and cure of the disease. Sadly Mali has been the country with the most recent reports of the Ebola pathogen showing that containment has not yet took place. While this is upsetting the pathogen is progressing at a much gentler rate than was originally envisioned.

there were a sum total of roughly 18,000 cases reported in the opinion of the counts manufactured by The World Health Organisation. However this number is said to be too low and forecasts say from this month onward upwards of 10,000 causes could occur a month.

The rapid expansion of the Ebola virus in West Africa puts the entire area in peril. This virus makes it harder to maintain trade other other economic relations for the already impoverished states. Adding to this a huge death toll is making this breakout extremely hard on the entire region.
