On redoute plusieurs centaines de milliers de nouveaux cas d’Ebola en Afrique de l’Ouest d’ici à la fin de l’année. Sur place, les difficultés de communication compliquent la riposte contre le virus. Rencontre avec Alain Epelboin, spécialiste d’anthropologie médicale et expert de l’OMS.

Vous êtes allé en Guinée, dans la zone d’épidémie. Quel est votre ressenti de la situation ?
Alain Epelboin : En Guinée, des personnes ayant été en contact avec des malades échappent toujours aux soignants et continuent à propager la maladie. Les manifestations d’hostilité des populations sont alarmantes, comme celle du 18 septembre dernier : sept personnes appartenant à une mission d’information et de prévention contre le virus Ebola ont été tuées par des villageois de Womé, au sud du pays. Au Liberia et en Sierra Leone, la situation est hors contrôle… Malheureusement, les prévisions de l’OMS (Organisation mondiale de la santé) semblent se réaliser, c’est-à dire 20 000 morts d’ici à novembre. Les Américains, par la voix du Centre de contrôle et de prévention des maladies, annoncent même entre 550 000 et 1,4 million de personnes infectées d’ici à janvier 2015. J’espère que leurs perspectives sont surestimées…
