The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks. The first EVD outbreaks occurred in remote villages in Central Africa, near tropical rainforests. The 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976. There were more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It also spread between countries, starting in Guinea then moving across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia. It is thought that fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are natural Ebola virus hosts." According to the description above and your understanding of the course content (terminology) on dynamics of disease transmission, identify the incorrect statement. a. EVD can start as a common source, and thereafter become a propagated epidemic b. EVD is usually transmitted as an airborne infection c. EVD is a zoonotic infection d. EVD is…

The World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking a candidate for one of their Global Health programs in East Africa. You have been hired as a paid intern and you are required to investigate the outbreak of infectious diseases in a district in Kenya and prepare a report for your manager. This district is located in a remote area in Kenya and has been hit with drought and famine. They recently ended a 10-year war and are now trying to get back to normalcy. The war has been devastating for most of the children. Some of the children are plagued with sickness with no medication and only one parent. A large number of men died in the war and conditions have been rough for the families within the community. Drinking water and food has been a problem, as the only source of drinking water is a stream where the community bathes and washes their clothes. WHO wants to help this community and you are sent to do an assessment. In your report, address the following. What mitigation strategies do you…
During the 2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Ebola aid workers like Abdul Lebbie engaged in a practice called contact tracing. These contact tracers locate and isolate (through quarantine) individuals who may have come into contact with an infected individual. Contact tracing is an attempt to reduce the RO of a disease by: reducing the infectious period reducing the transmission rate reducing the virulence increasing the infectious period O increasing the transmission rate
