2014 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa | Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever | CDC

CDC, along with domestic and international public health partners, is responding in West Africa to one of thelargest Ebola outbreaks in history. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with a sick person's blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, feces, vomit, or semen), contaminated objects (such as needles), or animals in Africa known to spread the disease (such as monkeys, apes, and bats). You can use CDC resources—includinginfographics, posters, and brochures—to promote awareness and correct misconceptions about the Ebola outbreak. West Africa Outbreak Infographic[PDF - 1 page]
