“Is Ebola a threat again?”
I thought I heard Ebola in the news again recently, but not a lot of people are talking about it. Is Ebola a threat in Africa again?

Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) stays as a silent and present threat in Africa. There are "endemic areas" (where there is the natural habitat of the virus) like Congo, but the pathogen/infection and the disease can be spread/exported and or imported by any person who have a direct contact with a EVD infected and/or sick person. At the international level there is a huge effort to develop a vaccine and to implement the basics and required protection measures to stop/avoid/control the spread of fis very deadly disease. Shortly Ebola is still a real and present threat in some areas of Africa. You can keep you updated by accessing CDC website.
