The death of a 15-year-old boy from Ebola in Liberia — a country that has been declared free of the disease twice — raises the question of why cases are still popping up in the country, experts say.
The teenager, who died Tuesday (Nov. 24), tested positive for the disease last week. His brother and father are also infected, and more than 150 people with whom the boy may have come into contact are now being monitored, according to Reuters.
"This is concerning and somewhat surprising," said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease specialist and a senior associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Health Security.

Ebola time again.
What happen to the Ebola free here that came down with it again. Hiding something?
It depends on the meaning of “free”. We live in LIB/Bizarro World.
It ain't over until it's over..
...really over...

I wonder if the guys were eating bushmeat?
Thanks for the ping.
Article mentioned body fluids and unknown how long virus may live in there. Molesting bushmeat? haha.
I’ll bet the ***hole in the White Hut can’t wait to start importing more Ebola patients into OUR country.
Since there already is evidence that Ebola can continue to reside in the gonads for +6 months ,
Can one assume that the death of a 15-year-old boy from Ebola in Liberia may be related to his sexual activity ?
Ebola isn't dead , ..just in hibernation ?
Obama going to bring “Ebola Boy” to the US in 3...2...1...
Oh I can’t wait for the ebola refugees to be dumped on us.
I’m always suspicious of a new outbreak. The bats that carry Ebola are still around, and the Africans still prefer game over farmed animals. I would like to see the genetics of the virus in this case.
Unfortunately, since I have changed jobs, I no longer have time to pay attention to Ebola every day. I am still interested in what is happening with the outbreak.
It’s the ugliness of the disease which is scary IMHO. Plus it can be easy to catch if you are in close contact with someone who has it. Witness how the health workers are armored up. ( I think you need to have redacted the bad language from whoever freepmailed you, in your post.)
thank you for the pinging!
You’re Welcome!
