A study in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases suggests that the experience of three mass gathering events in Africa during the Ebola epidemic illustrates that such events can be held safely, provided that countries put measures in place for enhanced surveillance and response systems for communicable diseases.
A study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases compared the Ebola virus epidemic in 1976 to the 2013-2016 epidemic, and identified key scientific approaches used in 1976 and their relevance to the 3-country (Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia) West African epidemic.
