Questions and Answers on Ebola The current Ebola outbreak is centered on three countries in West Africa: Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, although there is the potential for further spread to neighboring African countries.

Lassa fever is an animal-borne, or zoonotic, acute viral illness. It is endemic in parts of West Africa including Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria.
Neighboring countries are also at risk, as the animal vector for Lassa virus, the “multimammate rat” (Mastomys natalensis) is distributed throughout the region. But also during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa we sent several hundred officers to provide medical care and to set up what was called the Monrovia Medical Unit in Liberia.
to the fever. INTRODUCTION. Yellow fever virus, and its urban mosquito vector, both originated in Africa where a number of primate species are infected.
Possibly as early as the sixteenth century, the virus and its mosquito vector were transported on ships sailing from West Africa to the West Indies.

Objectives The overuse of antimalarial drugs is widespread. Effective methods to improve prescribing practice remain unclear. We evaluated the impact of 10 interventions that introduced rapid diagnostic tests for malaria (mRDTs) on the use of tests and adherence to results in different contexts.
Design A comparative case study approach, analysing variation in outcomes across different settings. 1. Introduction. Emerging infectious diseases are a constant threat to public health worldwide. In the past decade, several major outbreaks, such as the influenza pandemic [], the Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) [2–4], the emergence of Zika [5,6] and the West African Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak [7,8], have been potent reminders of the need for.
Lassa fever occurs across rural West Africa, with hyperendemic areas in parts of Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and Nigeria. Lujo virus has been described in Zambia and the Republic of South Africa during a health care-associated outbreak.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects humans and other animals. Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever, tiredness, vomiting, and headaches.
In severe cases it can cause yellow skin, seizures, coma, or death. Symptoms usually begin ten to fifteen days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. If not properly treated, people may have recurrences of the.
