A case study on a massive scale, it follows the narratives of numerous patients as well as the journey of physicians and scientists from discovery to action and from tracking to containment. The unfolding story reveals ever-shifting complexities such as the varied paths the infection took from country to country, the multiple responses of community members, and the occurrence of flare-ups when the outbreak was seemingly over. The book’s finely-documented present-tense reporting records key facts, events, and observations, including: Routes of Ebola transmission, incubation, symptoms, short- and long-term effects on survivors Early attempts to understand and contain the virus and curb practices contributing to its spread Medical, governmental, and public responses, from local education programs to global efforts Communication and conflict between healthcare workers and communities Social and economic outcomes of Ebola in the affected nations Ebola remains incurable, although a vaccine is now available. For members of the medical community, public health officials, medical historians, scholarly professionals, and interested laypeople, A Day-by-Day Chronicle of the 2013-2016 Ebola Outbreak makes starkly clear what we can learn from these events not only for future outbreaks of Ebola, but also for the emergence of as-yet unknown diseases.Infectious diseasesMedicine—HistoryMedicine HealthInfectious Diseaseshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096History of Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000Popular Science in Medicine and Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q14008Infectious diseases.Medicine—History.Medicine .Health.Infectious Diseases.History of Medicine.Popular Science in Medicine and Health.614.588Bullard Stephan Gregoryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut782777BOOK9910300280703321Day-by-Day Chronicle of the 2013-2016 Ebola Outbreak1738148UNINA
