The Mystery Of Ebola - Future of Ebola

More than 1.4million people are expected to be infected by the Ebola virus by January as it spreads exponentially across Africa.
Over 3,000 people have been killed by the virus so far, and at a major conference in London yesterday there were calls for international military forces to get involved to help stop its spread.

Here’s what you need to know:
