Abstract
The article reports on the epidemic of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa between December 2013 to April 2016. The Ebola epidemic has reinforced understandings about the epidemiology and control of EVD, but the risk of human infection from animals and from survivors of EVD remains unpredictable. It explains that public health security in Africa depends on the resources and investment to strengthen national health systems with next generation vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics.
