NEWS: World Health Organization Say "Ebola Death Toll Has Passed The 1,500 Mark"

The death toll from the Ebola outbreak tearing through West Africa has passed the 1,500 mark while the number of cases has soared past 3,000, the World Health Organization said Thursday.

“The outbreak continues to accelerate,” the UN health body said in its latest update on the killer virus.

As of August 26, a total of 1,552 people had died in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria from the epidemic that reared its head at the beginning of the year, while 3,062 had become infected.

On August 20, the toll stood at 1,427 deaths out of 2,600 cases.

A separate outbreak of Ebola, one of the deadliest viruses known to man, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 13 people have died, was not included in Thursday’s tally.

“More than 40 percent of the total number of cases have occurred within the past 21 days,” WHO said, adding that most cases were concentrated in just a few localities.

It said the overall fatality rate stood at 52 percent, but varied from 66 percent in Guinea, where the outbreak began, to 42 percent in Sierra Leone.

To date, Guinea has 648 cases including 430 deaths, while Sierra Leon has seen 1,026 cases and 422 deaths.

Liberia has so far counted 1,378 cases and 694 deaths, while Nigeria has seen 17 cases and six deaths, WHO said!

NEWS: Researches Say "Ebola Vaccine Trials Being Fast Tracked"

Safety trials on an Ebola vaccine are being fast-tracked, meaning it could be given to healthy volunteers as early as September, researchers said Thursday.

The vaccine will be given to volunteers in Britain, the Gambia and Mali in a bid to tackle the spread of an epidemic which has spread across west Africa, killing 1,552 so far.

Researchers hope the trials could finish by the end of 2014.

If they are successful, the vaccine could then be given to people infected with Ebola, which is spread through bodily fluids.

The move was announced by pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline — which is developing the vaccine with the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) — and London-based medical charity Wellcome Trust, which is contributing to a grant to pay for the trials.

“A candidate Ebola vaccine could be given to healthy volunteers in the UK, the Gambia and Mali as early as September, as part of a series of safety trials of potential vaccines,” the statement said.

A total of 3,062 cases have so far been reported but the World Health Organization warned Thursday that the caseload could eventually exceed 20,000.

The trials, which still need ethical and regulatory approval, will be funded by a £2.8 million (3.5 million euro, $4.6 million) grant from the Wellcome Trust, Britain’s Medical Research Council (MRC) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

The Oxford study will involve 60 healthy volunteers, while those in the Gambia and Mali will each involve 40.

This will also allow GSK to make some 10,000 extra doses of the vaccine so that if the trials are successful, it could be made available to the WHO quickly.

Safety tests of the vaccine will take place at Oxford University alongside a US trial run by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

NEWS: Parents Of Kidnapped Chibok Secondary School Girls Want The Matter Closed

MORE than four months after unfruitful search for their abducted girls, parents of the kidnapped Chibok school girls said they want the matter closed.

Since the girls have been missing for more than four months, the parents said they presumed the students to have died for which their funeral rites have already been performed in their (parents’) minds according to their custom.

They, however, urged the federal government bring the girls’ corpses for honourable burial.

This position was disclosed yesterday by the #BringOurGirls advocacy group, during its daily sit-out meeting for the rescue of the missing school girls at Unity Fountain, Abuja.

“All they said they want is their corpses to bury them honourably,” the group said.

As a way of driving their demand home, the group said it is vigorously mobilizing people on and offline and via social media towards holding a mega protest march in the FCT.

According to them, over 200 groups in Abuja have so far been contacted and have given positive response to participate, with 135 individuals on the group’s database contacted.

While calling on federal government to double its effort to free the girls,  the meeting said only political and military action can rescue our girls, and that is why we do what we are doing to compel that.

The group added a new slogan #NotWithoutOurDaughters! in response to a question on when  it will  stop the campaign.

NEWS: UK Launches 6.5 Million Pounds Appeal Fund For Ebola Research

Britain’s Department for International Development (DfID) and the Wellcome Trust on Thursday in London launched a 6.5 million pounds appeal fund for research on combating the Ebola virus.

Justine Greening, International Development Secretary, challenged experts worldwide to come forward urgently with research proposals leading to more effective ways of managing the current outbreak.

“We are launching an emergency call for research to strengthen what we know about Ebola and how it spreads”, he said.

Jeremy Farrar, Wellcome Trust’s Director said the Ebola epidemic in West Africa demands an urgent response before it ravaged the region.

He said the two organisers believed that rapid research into humanitarian interventions and therapeutics can have an impact on treatment and containment during the present outbreak.

Farrar said “what we learn could also change the way we approach future outbreaks, providing us with tested tools and techniques that were not available to public health authorities this time.”

He said the research initiative was jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s largest medical charities, and DfiD and that the projects would be managed by Enhancing Learning & Research for Humanitarian Assistance (ELRHA).

Farrar said funding would be awarded to teams that provide strong evidence and analysis on the disease in areas including anthropology, diagnosis, control and prevention, social mobilisation and treatment.

He said proposals would be reviewed immediately, and research projects that are approved would begin as soon as possible!
