ABSTRACT
When the world’s largest outbreak of Ebola virus disease first occurred in 2014, most cases were concentrated in West African. Countries as Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone suffered mostly from this lethal pandemic. Poverty and less-developed society environment made the issue more serious and the situation against Ebola still requires much attention not limited to comprehensive healthcare and volunteer work. In this paper, we review the pandemic of Ebola in Guinea, virus transmissions and current prevention measurements. We further discuss the improvements about future applied interventions for the less-developed area such as Guinea. This paper provides a thorough understanding for lethal pandemics in less developed countries and sets a good example for future work.
