There is no known cure or licensed treatment for Ebola, which has killed more than 1,000 people in the current outbreak in West Africa. The World Health Organization has called the Ebola outbreak, which emerged in Guinea in March and has since spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and possibly Nigeria, an international health emergency and urged nations worldwide to donate resources to battle the disease.
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast has banned all passenger flights from three countries hit by Ebola in an attempt to prevent the spread of the deadly virus. It is the only country, after Saudi Arabia, to impose such a ban.The ban covers Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which are worst affected by Ebola, Ivorian officials said.
