MUSINGS ON THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC
Yohannes Woldemariam

What is Ebola? How is it contracted? How is the disease highlighting the prejudices and shortcomings of the international community? In what ways is it undermining West African values and practices. Yohannes Woldemariam reflects on these questions and more.

THE EBOLA CRISIS IS MORE THAN A HEALTH ISSUE: IT'S ABOUT GOVERNANCE
Jeggan Grey-Johnson

The current crisis could well get out of hand as predicted. The problem is more than just a failure of the healthcare system. Utter negligence and poor management of public institutions, largely due to rampant corruption and bad governance, is the real issue that has come to the surface

AFRICAN SOLIDARITY - NOT PROTECTIONISM - NEEDED IN RESPONSE TO EBOLA
Robtel Neajai Pailey

The Ebola outbreak, now considered the worst in history, has put the spotlight on Pan-Africanism and the role of the African Union. There has been much rhetoric but little to show in terms of continental solidarity as the crisis worsens

MEDICAL RACISM AND THE AFRICAN PATIENT
How medical folklore demonises Africans all over the world
Mandisi Majavu

The current Ebola crisis reinforces the prevailing narrative that black Africans living in Western countries are the diseased 'other' who pose a threat to the health of whites

Towards a reading list on the Ebola crisis
This reading list is provided for anyone interested in learning more about Ebola, specifically in relation to the West African situation in 2014. Linking does not mean I necessarily agree with the article. Additional pieces welcome - I've tended to avoid mainstream news stories unless they add useful maps or graphics. Academic literature on Ebola is largely out of date in relation to the recent outbreak, and/or very technical. The New England Journal of Medicine<http://www.nejm.org/toc/nejm/medical-journal> pieces are an exception.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 'Ebola (Ebola Virus Disease)<http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/index.html?s_cid=cdc_homepage_feature_001>' - regular updates and lots of information
World Health Organisation, 'Ebola Virus Disease'<http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/> - lots of information and links
Médecins sans frontières, 'Ebola Emergency<http://www.msf.org.uk/ebola>' - lots of information and links
'2014 Ebola Outbreak'<http://healthmap.org/ebola/#timeline>, healthmap.org - interactive map and timeline
UK Government, 'Ebola: Government Response<https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/ebola-government-response>' - links to press releases and other information

The New England Journal of Medicine<http://www.nejm.org/toc/nejm/medical-journal> has a theme section - including Sylvie Briand et. al., "The International Ebola Emergency<http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1409858?query=featured_ebola>" and Margaret Chan, 'Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa - No Early End to the Outbreak<http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1409859?query=featured_ebola&>'.
