Underlining the immense risks taken by those working in West Africa to
understand and combat the worsening Ebola outbreak, five co-authors of an
important new Ebola study were killed by the virus before their research
was published.
.
The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, found that the virus
has mutated during the outbreak something that could hinder diagnosis and
treatment of the disease.
.
The five deceased co-authors, who were from Sierra Leones Kenema
Government Hospital Lassa fever facility, worked with the studys lead
researchers at Harvard University to examine the deadliest Ebola outbreak
in history. In all, the research involved more than 50 co-authors.
.
Its an extraordinary study, and it came with an extraordinary toll. Pardi
Sabeti, whose Harvard lab oversaw the genetic sequencing at the center of
the research, told The Posts Brady Dennis that the the experience of
working on the international study was one of the most rewarding and
devastating experiences of my life, with the thrill of conducting the
collaborative research tempered by the sadness of losing numerous
colleagues who were working on the front lines.
.
The study demonstrates just how effective an international research effort
can be in the middle of a global health crisis. Researchers sequenced the
virus genomes from 78 patients in the current outbreak, starting with its
early days in the spring.

Mbalu Fonnie
Alex Moigboi
Alice Kovoma
Mohamed Fullah
Sheik Umar Khan

In a June interview with Reuters, Khan spoke of the dangers health-care
workers face while working with Ebola: I am afraid for my life, I must
say, because I cherish my life.
.
Health workers are prone to the disease because we are the first port of
call for somebody who is sickened by disease. Even with the full
protective clothing you put on, you are at risk.
