Some highlights from this week's sitrep:
>Investigations into the origin of the case in Fria have been complicated by
>active and passive resistance from communities in both Fria and Telimele.
>Community engagement has proved challenging in all 4 affected prefectures of
>Guinea, with several reported incidents of violence directed at field staff
>during the past week.
They won't let those nasty WHO get in the way of Ebola-chan's love!
>Given the proximity to Guinea-Bissau of the recent cluster of cases in the
>north-west Guinean prefecture of Boke (figure 2, figure 3), two response teams
>from Guinea-Bissau have been deployed to the border with Guinea to assess
>several points of entry and sensitize the communities. The investigation team
>were not able to locate the contact who had attended the funeral of a case in
>Boke, and who is thought to have returned to a fishing community in Guinea-Bissau.
Good luck, Fisherman-kun!
>The additional case is from the same neighbourhood but was not on a contact
>list, and was living in a non-quarantined home at the time of symptom onset.
Home is where the <3 is!
>Kambia reported its first case for over 2 weeks on 31 May (figure 6). The case
>was identified after a post-mortem test of a community death and was not a
>known contact of a previous case. Epidemiological investigations have so far
>not been able to establish an epidemiological link to a previous case, and it
>is suspected that an active chain of transmission may have gone undetected in
>the community for several weeks.
Stealth Ebola-chan activate!
>One of the cases was a stillborn child who tested PCR-positive for EVD on
>delivery; the mother tested PCR-negative for EVD. Serological tests have
>detected antibodies against EVD in the mother, indicative of a prior
>infection or exposure. The case underlines the need for close monitoring
>of pregnancy and child birth among female EVD survivors.
Ebola-chan loves the little children!
