The Spanish priest, Miguel Pajares, who got infected with Ebola while working in Liberia will be treated with ZMapp.

The drug arrived at Madrid’s La Paz-Carlos III hospital where the 75-year-old missionary was being treated in isolation, the health ministry said in a statement late on Saturday.

First Ebola Virus Victim - Patient Zero Has Been Identified as a Two-Year-Old Boy In Guinea

Posted in: , ,

Researchers tracing the Ebola virus back to patient zero think that they have identified him, a two-year-old boy who died on December 6, 2013. The toddler fell ill while in a village in southeastern Guinea called Guéckédou.

This small village is like a three nation intersection, as it sits on the border of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. All three of these places have been heavily effected by the Ebola virus outbreak.

Scientists think that because the disease started in Guéckédou, it had an easy entry path into the three nations in West Africa that have suffered so many deaths between them.

There have now been 1,779 cases of Ebola reported and 961 people have died from the deadly disease.
