The Ebola outbreak
has been centered in the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone and
Liberia, though there have been concerns about international air travel and
other factors — including the fact the symptoms might not appear until two to
21 days after one is infected — may contribute to its spread.

More than 3,000
people in West Africa have died after being infected with Ebola, according to a
World Health Organization report from last week. The same report stated that
there had been 6,553 cases of the virus overall, though the number is suspected
of being much higher given difficulties in tracking and reporting the disease.

According to the
CDC, Ebola causes viral hemorrhagic fever, which can affect multiple organ
systems in the body and are often accompanied by bleeding. Early symptoms
include sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore
throat, each of which can be easily mistaken early on for other ailments like
malaria, typhoid fever, meningitis or even the plague.
