West African Ebola virus epidemic timeline

West Africa Ebola Outbreak Map

This article covers the chronology of the 2014 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa and its outbreaks elsewhere.[1] Flag icons denote the first announcements of confirmed cases by the respective nation-states, their first deaths, and their first secondary transmissions, as well as relevant sessions and announcements of agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders; medical evacuations, visa restrictions, border closures, quarantines, court rulings, and possible cases of zoonosis are also included.


Timeline

Take note that the date of the first confirmations of the disease or any event in a country may be before or after the date of the events in local time because of the International Dateline.

December 2013

Guinea Guinea Researchers believe that a 2-year-old boy was the index case of the current Ebola virus disease epidemic. He died in December 2013 in the village of Meliandou, Guéckédou Prefecture. His mother, sister, and grandmother then became ill with similar symptoms and also died. Although Ebola represents a significant public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and was documented[2] in Tai Forest chimpanzees, only one case had been reported in humans in West Africa.[3] With this background and in the context of poor public health systems,[4] the early cases were mis-diagnosed as diseases more common to the area. Thus Ebola virus disease spread for several months before it was recognized as such.[5][6] In late October 2014, the child was identified as Emile Ouamouno.[7][8] In a Tuesday, December 30, 2014 online world news story article, by Richard Ingham, from the Agence France-Presse (AFP), that was featured on the MSN homepage, it was revealed that a tree in the area, where children had played at, playing with insect-eating Angolan free-tailed bats[9] and hunting and grilling them to eat (the role in this outbreak of another well-known Ebola reservoir, the fruit bat, is less clear), is believed to be the point where human infection – likely by the bats – with Ebola in this current outbreak occurred, the 'ground zero' of the epidemic. This is not yet known decisively, but scientists have enough knowledge to go public with the story.[10]
