Substantial efforts are ongoing to improve the availability and accuracy of information about both the epidemiological situation and the implementation of response measures. Following the roadmap structure, country reports fall into three categories: (1) those with widespread and intense transmission (Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone); (2) those with or that have had an initial case or cases, or with localized transmission (Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain, and the United States of America); and (3), those countries that neighbour or have strong trade ties with areas of active transmission. An overview of the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where there is a separate, unrelated outbreak of EVD, is also provided (see Annex 2). 1. COUNTRIES WITH WIDESPREAD AND INTENSE TRANSMISSION A total of 13 676 confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of EVD and 4910 deaths have been reported up to the end of 27 October 2014 by the Ministries of Health of Guinea, and Sierra Leone, and 25 October for Liberia (table 1).
