As I am not an expert on this subject, what is it about this part of the world that seems to be a hotbed for Ebola and what, if anything, can local governments do to reduce its likelihood of reoccurring?

>>Outbreaks between people start when somebody catches Ebola from an infected animal >>It spreads through infected bodily fluids, such as blood and vomit. Can someone please educate me on how ebola is spreading? are these 100 deaths because of virus transmission from infected animals or from humans? if from humans - then how is it spreading given that it spreads via blood and vomit.
