A university student infected with Ebola evaded health surveillance for weeks as he slipped into Senegal, carrying the deadly virus to a fifth West African nation showing how quarantines, border closures and flight bans have failed to contain the outbreak. Now health officials must try to identify and monitor all of his contacts in Senegal's capital of Dakar, no small feat in a metropolitan area with more than 2 million people that serves as a major transportation hub and popular destination for European tourists. Minister Awa Marie Coll Seck said the student from Guinea finally showed up at a hospital in Dakar on Tuesday, seeking treatment but concealing that he had been in contact with other Ebola victims. http://apne.ws/1qXUIDn http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
