Predicting the extinction of Ebola spreading in Liberia due to mitigation strategies [PDF]
Scientific Reports 5, Article number: 12172 (2015), 2015 The Ebola virus is spreading throughout West Africa and is causing thousands of deaths. In order to quantify the effectiveness of different strategies for controlling the spread, we develop a mathematical model in which the propagation of the Ebola virus through Liberia is caused by travel between counties.
