In just over three weeks the deadly haemorrhagic disease has killed 25 people and sickened 51 in the Central African Giant where it was first identified 42 years ago.

WHO crisis head Peter Salama says they’re starting to see good results from fighting the current Ebola outbreak.

Most of the cases remain in remote rural areas and the spread to the city of Mbandaka has not increased.

The use of what he calls innovative therapeutic regimens is what’s making the difference this time.

He says they plan to introduce five unlicenced  vaccines.

Two of them have been tested on humans and three on animals. There is data on their safety.
