Abstract: On March 21, 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Guinea reported an outbreak of Ebola viral disease (EVD), and shortly thereafter clinical cases were also reported in Liberia. By May, the first cases identified in Sierra Leone were reported. The outbreak expanded to Nigeria on July 25th and Senegal on August 29th. The outbreak continues to accelerate in West Africa and is unprecedented in size. This emergency ICR is an extension of several collections started under OMB Control Number 0920-1011, "Emergency Epidemic Investigation Data Collections," and will allow CDC to continue ongoing work.

Emergency Justfication: WHO has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa to be an international public health emergency. The 2014 Ebola outbreak is unprecedented and the first in West Africa. CDC is currently assisting with the investigation, by taking active steps to respond to the rapidly changing situation internationally and domestically by working with other U.S. government agencies, the World Health Organization, and other domestic and international partners to identify sources and risk factors for Ebola infection in order to implement prevention and control measures. The epidemiological objectives are to maintain a centralized database for data collected from all outbreak sites, domestic and international to assist in contact tracing, case report collection, and patient or family interviews.
