Secondary infections with Ebola virus in rural communities, Liberia and Guinea, 2014–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 22, No. 9, Year 2016

In rural communities in Liberia and Guinea, more secondary Ebola infections resulted from persons who died of Ebola virus disease at home than from persons admitted to Ebola treatment units. Intensified monitoring of contacts of persons who died of this disease in the community is an evidence-based approach to reduce virus transmission in rural communities.
