The current Ebola outbreak, the largest in history, started in Guinea and soon spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. Additional cases cropped up in Nigeria and then in Senegal, where the outbreak has since been contained.

Now, with 7,178 cases and 3,338 deaths in West Africa, the disease has jumped again. One case has been reported in Dallas, the first case of Ebola ever diagnosed on US soil.

As the epidemic rages on, the disease may show up in additional countries, though those with advanced healthcare systems will be able to contain it.
