of the 170 deaths from Ebola in the current outbreak in West Africa. There have
been a few deaths in Liberia and now at least one in Sierra Leone. The new cases are a

There is no cure
and no vaccine for Ebola, which causes a high fever and severe bleeding. The
current outbreak is unusual for West Africa as the disease is typically found
in the center and east of the continent. Ebola can incubate
for up to 21 days before an infected person shows any symptoms. Doctors like to
wait 42 days — two incubation periods — after the last known infection before
declaring an outbreak over.
