Why is Ebola spreading in Africa?

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

Suspected Ebola cases in eastern Congo have climbed past 900, with at least 119 deaths, as the World Health Organization warns that the outbreak poses a ‘very high’ risk in the country, though it sees a low risk of spreading globally. Arson attacks on Ebola treatment centers, anger over tightly controlled burials and mistrust of authorities are fueling community backlash, complicating efforts to fight a virus with no approved vaccine. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with immunologist Prof Cyrille Cohen, the Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar Ilan University. (Photo: Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
