Ebola Crisis: Not Over Yet?
Experts say factors that led to the epidemic in the first place still exist. Fauci noted that in the previous week Liberia had recorded no new cases, but neighboring Guinea and Sierra Leone had recorded 51 and 81, respectively. The 132 cases represented an increase from the previous week and, importantly, many arose from unknown chains of transmission, according to the World Health Organization.
The existence of unknown transmission chains implies that the virus is still spreading out of sight of those attempting to stop it. In particular, the organization says the three afflicted countries aren't sharing information about tracing Ebola contacts, regarded as a central part of epidemic control. http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/Ebola/50414?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2015-03-11&utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyHeadlines&utm_source=ST&eun=g721819d0r&userid=721819&email=amydugan2@gmail.com&mu_id=5883165
