Abstract: Despite over 28,000 reported cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the 2013–16 outbreak in West Africa, we are only beginning to trace the complex biosocial processes that have promoted its spread. Important questions remain, including the effects on survivors of clinical sequelae, loss of family and livelihood, and other psychological and social trauma.
