How Nigeria Stopped Ebola | Spillover - Zika, Ebola & Beyond

During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, epidemiologists and contact tracers stopped a potential disaster in Nigeria. A man infected with Ebola flew to Lagos, the largest city in Africa. His arrival kicked off a chain of infection in that country, but by finding and monitoring contacts, health care workers were able to keep the cases from spiraling out of control.
