November 17, 2014 | Filed under: Africa, Countries, English, Epidemiology & Public Health, Europe, France, Guinea, Investigative journalism, Liberia, Nigeria, Peer reviewed, RDC, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Spain, USA, Visual and tagged with: confirmed and suspected cases, CrisisNET, Ushahidi, Widespread Transmission

The Ebola epidemic has finally captured international attention. Coverage of Ebola was minimal when the disease was confined to West Africa, but a small number of recent cases in the US and Europe have sparked frantic, hysterical reporting from western media outlets and subsequent public panic.
