Module 5

West African Ebola was another epidemic that plagued humanity.
It spread in Guinea as the initial case was found there and later
spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. The virus was spread through
direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids of infected people.
Transmission could also occur through contaminated needles,
syringes, bedding, and clothing. There were around 11,000
victims and the epidemic lasted from 2014-2016. Diagnostic tools
have been created that can detect the virus within hours, a vaccine
that is highly effective has been created, and thousands of experts
have been trained on how to deal with the virus.
