The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the world's deadliest to date. According to the UN, 729 people have died as health officials in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone struggle to control the virus. But what is the killer disease? Ebola is a viral illness which has a 90 per cent death rate. Every person infected is said to go on to infect two-and-a-half more. Initial symptoms of a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat. But that is just the beginning - subsequent stages include vomiting, diarrhoea and - in some cases - both internal and external bleeding. Ebola mainly occurs in remote villages in Central and Western Africa, with the natural hosts of the virus believed to be Fruit bats. Report by Claire Lomas.
