Debt and hunger at birthplace of Ebola in Guinea

In this photo taken Thursday Nov. 20, 2014, Etienne Ouamouno sits in the communal room in the Guinean village of Meliandou, some 400 miles (600 kms) south-east of Conakry, Guinea. Etienne's son, Emile is widely recognized by researchers as Patient Zero, the first person to have died of Ebola back on December 28 last year. And Meliandou, a small village at the top of a forested hill reached by a rutted red earth track, is notorious as the birthplace and crucible of the most deadly incarnation of the virus to date. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay) MELIANDOU, Guinea (AP) — When 2-year-old Emile Ouamouno caught a fever, started vomiting, passed blood in his stool and died two days later, nobody knew why.
