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 Academic literature on Ebola is largely out of date in relation to the recent outbreak, and/or very technical.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 pieces are an exception.

 

Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 'Ebola (Ebola Virus Disease)' – regular updates and lots of information

World Health Organisation, 'Ebola Virus Disease' – lots of information and links

Médecins sans frontières, 'Ebola Emergency' – lots of information and links

'2014 Ebola Outbreak', healthmap.org – interactive map and timeline

UK Government, 'Ebola: Government Response' – links to press releases and other information

Channel Four News, 'Unreported World: Ebola Outbreak', 24 minute video

BBC News, 'Ebola Outbreak', several pieces, regularly updated, including 'Mapping the Outbreak'.

The New England Journal of Medicine has a theme section – including Sylvie Briand et. al., "The International Ebola Emergency" and Margaret Chan, 'Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa – No Early End to the Outbreak'.
