Simulation as a tool for managing Ebola infection
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Ebola virus disease is the present deadly infection. The outbreak in Africa becomes the great concern globally. Several attempts have been launched to manage the problem since its first appearance in Africa. The use of simulations as a tool to manage the problem is very interesting. In this short article, the author briefly summarizes and discusses on this topic.
