“Guinea has received confirmation that a mysterious disease that has killed up to 59 people in the West African country, and may have spread to neighbouring Sierra Leone, is the haemorrhagic fever Ebola, the government said on Saturday. Cases of the disease — among the most virulent pathogens known to infect humans, with a fatality rate of up to 90 per cent — have been registered in three southeastern towns and in the capital Conakry since February 9. It has never before been recorded in Guinea.”
