mahama is more than the EBOLA virus. If you ban flights from EBOLA countries, proceed to equally banish mahama from Ghana because he is more deadly than the EBOLA virus.

Hope Ghanaians will completely avoid travel to esp Nigeria for as long as it takes so we see which of the two countries will burge under pressure of need. Set the ball rolling now.

Ghanaians are seriously very stupid people they don't seem to know what is happening around them. Can you imagine a crumbling economy like Ghana's still have the pleasure to issue threat of closing borders to the the like of Nigeria where the Ebola is negligible.? The strogest economies of the Western countries of America, Britain, Holland, Germany etc. don't even contemplate blocking flights to or from Nigeria, it takes useless countries like Ghana, a country with little or no ambition to think of stopping flights from Nigeria. Hope Ghana's reasons for stopping flight to or from Nigeria especially will include non-spread of Cholera epidemic currently ravaging Ghana

Searching for Causes of the Ebola Outbreak, and for a Way to Stop the Next One

BY CAROLYN CRIST 08.18.14

Every time Daniel Bausch, a virologist from Tulane University, went back to Guinea, things looked worse. The country’s few paved roads crumbled. The forests seemed thinner. Prices shot up on everything in the market. From 1998 to 2008, Bausch was working for the World Health Organization in West Africa, chasing a viral disease called Lassa. He had no idea at the time that he was seeing the kinds of changes that would, half a decade later, make possible the worst outbreak of Ebola the world had ever seen.
Bausch went back to Africa in July this year to work at a hospital in Sierra Leone dealing with the outbreak. Entropy was in full effect: Blood, vomit and urine smeared hospital floors. Without protective gear, some hospital workers treated Ebola patients wearing only scrubs. When nurses got sick, others went on strike, leaving few people left to pick up patients who had fallen out of their beds.

This health-care breakdown is the main reason why the virus has spread so far this time, Bausch says. It doesn’t just show up, randomly appearing from the forest. Outbreaks happen where the economy and public infrastructure have fallen apart for years.

“We’ll have to wait for the outbreak to conclude,” he says. “Even then we may never know.”Even now, as WHO and aid organizations work to fight the outbreak, Bausch and other disease specialists still have more questions than answers. How did it get this far? This particular strain of Ebola — called Ebola Zaire — comes from Central Africa. How did it get to West Africa? Why did it start in Guinea, which has never seen the Ebola virus? And why is this happening now?

Yet despite Bausch’s pessimism, researchers are actually starting to find answers. They’re mapping out the connections between communities where people have contracted Ebola. They’re testing bats from the nearby forest to determine if Ebola has been in the area all along. They’re talking to residents about other conditions that could have caused this outbreak to spread so fast and so far—weather, government help and hospital safety. Because finding those answers will mean more than just slowing or stopping this outbreak. It might help stop the next epidemic, whatever disease it is, before it even begins.

The first problem is figuring out how this particular Ebola strain got to West Africa in the first place. Guinea residents have never encountered the disease, and now more than 500 have become ill; nearly 400 have died. This flavor of the disease—Ebola Zaire—somehow jumped up the Gulf of Guinea from Central Africa, from Gabon and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Did it travel through an infected person? Not likely. Anyone with contagious symptoms wouldn’t make it through the 12-hour drive over tough terrain. So disease specialists are now wondering if bats migrated to West Africa. Or, perhaps more frighteningly, always harbored the virus but never had contact with humans. People may just now be catching the virus because the population of infected animals grew, or shrinking forest put more humans closer to the bats.

On the other hand, maybe Ebola has infected people in West Africa for years and nobody knew. Symptoms such as fever, muscle aches and bleeding could mean many different diseases—malaria, for example, or Lassa, which is endemic to the area. Lab tests aren’t exactly routine or widely available in these hospitals. But Bausch says testing human blood samples from Lassa research as far back as 1996 could be the answer. He and fellow researchers are developing a way to look for Ebola antibodies in samples that showed viral hemorrhagic fever symptoms but tested negative for Lassa.

Of course, none of that would explain why this outbreak happened now. One possible explanation is the weather. A longer and drier dry season, like the one this year, means more hungry bats out looking for food and interacting with each other. Hypothetically, more interaction among more active bats could transfer the virus among a larger population. If so, looking to the forest for a cause of the outbreak makes sense—the Guinea forest touches Liberia and Sierra Leone, where the outbreak has been the strongest.

Once the disease makes its way out of its animal reservoir and into people, those people become vectors for its transmission. Central Africa is more rural, which means less person-to-person contact. But West African nations are urbanized, populous, and connected, with porous borders.

Poverty exacerbates that problem, Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are among the poorest countries in the world—numbers 175, 179 and 183, respectively, out of 187 countries on the United Nation’s Human Development Index. In that part of the world, poor people have to go deeper into the surrounding forest just to stay alive, hunting for food, looking for wood to build fires and goods to sell. As they push in, new and strange diseases come out.

Once infected, people find limited help back at the hospital. These countries have just one doctor for every 40,000 to 80,000 people.

“A colleague of mine working there told me they don’t have gloves and can’t afford them,” says Carlos del Rio, a global health and infectious disease expert at Emory University in Atlanta. “They can’t protect themselves. What are they supposed to do?”

Infected patients then return home, where the virus spreads and is inefficiently battled by governments with few resources, slow response times, poor communication networks and huge language barriers across borders.

All these trends and results are true for more diseases than just Ebola. In fact, the poorest communities in the U.S. all face “tropical diseases”—mosquito-borne Dengue fever; Chagas disease, which causes debilitating heart damage; and toxocariasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by roundworms.

They’re the “most important diseases you’ve never heard of,” says Peter Hotez, a virologist and founding dean of Baylor College of Medicine’s National School of Tropical Medicine. “We put a large emphasis on biodefense and imaginary threats to the U.S. with smallpox and the avian flu, but this is at the expense of the real threats that have been here a long time.”

“Calling them ‘tropical diseases’ is a misnomer,” he says. “They’re really diseases of poverty.”

The facts of the fatal virus goes beyond bush meat which no Africa research institute has come up with laboratory prove with the exception of what the West saying or telling.
