Abstract
West Africa has been fighting its first epidemic of the Ebola virus disease for more thana year now. Despite a decline of infections, especially in urban centres, new cases stillemerge and call for continued vigilance. According to the WHO, there have been 26,044cases with 10,808 mortalities as of April 22, 2015. Though Sierra Leone has by nowexperienced the highest number of cases, overall mortality rates are higher in Liberia,where almost half of those infected died (4,573 of 10,212). No case has been recorded inCôte d’Ivoire. Why has there not been a single official case in Côte d’Ivoire despite thefact that it shares large parts of its border with Liberia and Guinea?
