dc.description.abstract |
We analyse up-to-date epidemiological data of the
Ebola virus disease outbreak in Nigeria as of 1 October
2014 in order to estimate the case fatality rate, the
proportion of healthcare workers infected and the
transmission tree. We also model the impact of control
interventions on the size of the epidemic. Results indicate
that Nigeria’s quick and forceful implementation
of control interventions was determinant in controlling
the outbreak rapidly and avoiding a far worse scenario
in this country. |
