About this ebook
The Ebola virus is highly contagious, spreading through direct contact with blood and bodily fluids. This book outlines previous outbreaks of this very deadly disease and describes the massive efforts to contain the worst outbreak ever, which hit West Africa in 2014 and killed thousands. There is a timeline of the important dates on the detection and treatment of this disease. And there are stories of people who contracted this deadly disease and survived.
