'Isolated' Liberian Ebola case raises fears of fresh outbreaks across West Africa
Liberian hunter dies despite never travelling to outbreak's epicentre in Guinea, as Mali becomes fourth country to report suspected cases and France alerts doctors to watch for symptoms
A Liberian bushmeat trapper who died of Ebola caught the virus despite living far away from the epicentre of the current epidemic in Guinea, raising fears of multiple concurrent outbreaks of the haemorrhagic fever.
The illness is only passed through direct contact with an infected person, or their corpse, meaning that the Liberian hunter must have succumbed to a strain unconnected to the one doctors are battling to contain in Guinea.
Already, 86 people have died there, and there are a further 51 suspected cases already known to medical staff, the Guinean health ministry said.
Hundreds more could be infected and not yet know it.
Mali on Thursday became the fourth West African country to identify suspected cases.
