Summary

An outbreak in Booué, Gabon, infected 60 people and killed 45 (CFR 75%). A doctor who treated patients in Booué travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he and a nurse who cared for him became infected; the nurse died.

Why this matters

First documented air-travel export of Ebola from Africa, prefiguring the 2014 importation events.
