Information Resources on Ebola

Ebola has so far infected thousands of people in 2014, making it the largest outbreak of the virus in history. Despite the incredible efforts of local and global public health teams, Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called the situation 鈥渦nprecedented鈥� while on a visit to the affected region. He also predicted that it would only get worse before officials could get a handle on the crisis.

In addition to governments and businesses, scientists play a major part in stemming any infectious disease outbreak, including the current one.

This resource page includes a list of scientific papers, as well as Chemical & Engineering News articles, on Ebola that journalists can access for free. The page also includes a list of experts who can speak about this topic to the press.
