The flare-up of Ebola disease in West Africa has been in the reports for months. At its current size it represents the biggest outbreak of the illness in known human history. This onset has spread right across several nations and cost many lives.
The Ebola illness in West Africa has a fatality rate of approximately 70%. This means that 7 out of 10 patients to contract the disease will die. It is believe that this number is essentially higher and that many deaths are going unreported inside this area.
So far the outbreak has only influenced West Africa. Other countries and areas have had cases imported in by aid worked but those cases have been treated and isolated. In this manner the outbreak is a problem that only affects West Africa and those who work in that region.
The virus has been found in six different states within West Africa. The nations impacted by Ebola illness in West Africa are; Sierra Leone, Guinea, Mali, and Liberia. There were outbreaks in both Nigeria and Senegal but both countries have been announced free of Ebola virus since October of the current year.
The stop of the pathogen in these West African nations leaves wish for the eventual containment and cure of the disease. Unhappily Mali has been the country with the newest reports of the Ebola virus showing that containment hasn't yet occurred. While this is upsetting the pathogen is progressing at a much gentler rate than was initially predicted.
There have been an overall total of approximately 18,000 cases reported according to the counts made 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 happen a month.
The swift expansion of the Ebola virus in West Africa puts the whole area in peril. This virus makes it harder to maintain trade other other industrial relations for the already impoverished countries. Adding to this a massive death roll is making this breakout extremely hard on the whole region.
