埃博拉出血热自1976年首次暴发以来，其高致死率引起了人们的高度重视。2014年的埃博拉病毒病疫情已造成6 800多人死亡。其暴发流行既有病原学和流行病学因素，也与西非当地的政治、经济、文化、卫生现状及应对措施密切相关。因此，综合分析造成流行的因素，有利于尽快控制疫情的迅速蔓延。目前包括中国政府在内的国际社会给予了积极帮助，国际社会与西非本国防控力量的有效结合将在更短的时间内控制疫情，并为我国做好埃博拉病毒病疫情的相关防控提供新的思考。

Since the first outbreak in 1976, Ebola hemorrhagic fever has attracted great attention due to its high fatality rate. The 2014 epidemic has caused more than 6 800 deaths. The impact of Ebola is not only related to etiology and epidemiology in West Africa, but also to regional and global politics, economy, culture, health status as well. With global support, including from China, the joint efforts led by international organizations and West Africa are making progress on effective measures to control and treat the epidemic.
