This particular strain is on a different branch of the family tree of e. zaire. I wonder if it’s more transmissible somehow.

I just hope these evacuees take appropriate precautions and don’t bring it back to the West with them...

At the very least it seems to be a hardier strain that's found it's way into a target rich environment.

I'm unclear as to what is meant by the graphics on the Telegraph map below.

What exactly does the "No active transmission " overlay on the "Confirmed and probable Ebola cases" really mean?
