The epidemic of Ebola fever is endemic by harmful traditional practices that do not improve prevention. I ntil the day hui continue the same practices here are the results of my queries in the last two months between Guinea Conakry and Sierra Leone these young people and older people live within 200 km of my capital Conakry.
