The Ebola Outbreak in west africa<br />
The Zaire Ebola virus appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared into thin air after killing scores of humans in<br />
West Africa. In The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, author Constantine N. Nana attempts to better understand the<br />
outbreak and answer the question: why?<br />
Through meticulous research, combing through misleading media reports and equivocal academic papers, Nana takes<br />
a close look at the chain of events. He raises a series of questions:<br />
Why were there Ebola experts in the region shortly before the outbreak?<br />
Why did the Sierra Leonean government order a research institution to stop "Ebola testing" during the outbreak?<br />
Why did the United States' government decline to renew funding for one of the research programs during the crisis?<br />
Why did one of the key researchers state that the epidemic may have been caused by a contaminated needle?<br />
Did the initial outbreak really originate with a two-year-old child in an isolated area?<br />
In The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, Nana challenges standard explanations of the virus' origins and demonstrates<br />
that many questions remain unanswered. Visit our Facebook page to contact Dr. Nana and to get the link to purchase<br />
