The latest outbreak of Ebola in Guinea has ended, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, warning that a recurrence of the killer tropical disease remained a threat.
The last known Ebola patient in the west African country was discharged from hospital in April.
WHO declares the end to an outbreak, also known as the end to viral transmission, 42 days after the last known patient tests negative for the second time.
In the three countries hit hardest by the Ebola crisis – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – fresh cases emerged after an outbreak was declared over.
