Ebola’s Curse is introduced in the aftermath of the largest viral hemorrhagic fever outbreak in history occurring in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia in Western Africa where the Ebola virus (EBOV) has not been previously reported in the human population. The account by Oldstone et al in Ebola’s Curse provides an in-depth look at why the 2013–2016 EBOV outbreak vastly differed from previous outbreaks in terms of the number of cases.
