埃博拉在西非地区的发病率比流行最严重的前几个月大幅度下降。
但是，美国疾病控制和预防中心（U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention）表示，这一下降趋势还不够。汤姆·弗里登（Tom Frieden）主任在该机构投入抗击这场西非疫情一周年之际说：“同埃博拉的斗争远没有结束。”
眼下的目标继续是要将埃博拉的发病率降低到零。欧巴马总统4月8日在听取顾问人员关于当前在几内亚和塞拉利昂进行的努力的汇报时，对战胜这一疾病再次作出承诺。
埃博拉行动计划帮助使赛拉利昂的埃博拉病例大幅度减少。2015年年初，那里每周出现近250个病例，而据世界卫生组织（World Health Organization）的最新统计，3月底只有25个新病例。
几内亚的情况仍不稳定，最近几个月中的周病例统计不断波动。据世卫组织报告，在3月最后一星期内只发现了不到60个新病例，比月初时减少了三分之一以上，但仍然与达到零相距甚远，
利比里亚在制止埃博拉传播上取得最大进展，从3月初至今未发现一例病例。对病患的得力护理和对预防疾病的大力宣传教育，对让生活走向正常起到了作用。
在此次埃博拉疫情中，得到确诊、基本肯定或疑似的病患人数总共为25000人，其中近10500人死亡。
美国疾病控制和预防中心自从投入征服这场疫情的努力后，向西非地区派出抗病专家团队达2000多人次。他们与其他国际伙伴一道，同几内亚、利比里亚和赛拉利昂政府合作。他们的努力包括：
- 建立急救医疗中心
- 追踪偏远地区的病患接触史
- 培训23000名以上西非医护工作者，改进传染控制措施
- 向公众宣传预防疾病的正确方法

Ebola in West Africa: The goal is zero
The rate of Ebola infection in West Africa is down sharply from the rapid spread of the epidemic’s early months.
But that downward trend isn’t enough progress for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “The fight against Ebola is far from over,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden as he marked the first anniversary of the agency’s response to the West African outbreak.
Reducing the infection rate to zero remains the
goal.
The Ebola initiative has contributed to a sharp plunge in Ebola cases in Sierra Leone. 2015 began with nearly 250 cases reported weekly, but the latest World Health Organization (WHO) account shows just 25 new cases at the end of March.
The struggle continues in Guinea, where
Liberia has made the most progress in quelling the epidemic,
without report of a single Ebola case since early March. Good care
for the sick and rigorous education about disease prevention have
helped return a semblance of
This Ebola outbreak has killed nearly 10,500 persons among more than 25,000 cases confirmed, probable or suspected.
Teams of CDC disease fighters have served almost 2,000 deployments in West Africa since the agency joined the effort. They, along with other international partners, worked with the governments of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to:
- Establish emergency operations centers.
- Trace patient contacts in remote areas.
- Train more than 23,000 West African health care workers to improve infection control.
- Communicate methods of proper disease protection to publics.
CDC Ebola fighters show their commitment to fighting the epidemic in this video, “Getting to Zero”:
