Ebola - Guinea
A fifth person has died in Guinea Ebola flare up and is causing panic. The man might have been in contact with the first victim, officials say. The small West African country is in an alarmed state as hundreds more may be infected with the deadly disease. The Ebola virus, though carried by mosquitoes, can be transferred through human contact. The bodies are often washed before their burial, without any sanitary precautions, and might be the cause of the current Guinea Ebola flare up.
