Answer 2

Epidemiology’s Fight Against Ebola by Carol Hand Emile was a two-year-old boy living in Meliandou, a village in the West African nation of Guinea. In December 2013, Emile may have been bitten by a fruit bat, a common animal in West Africa. On December 26, he became ill. He died two days later. By January 14, his three-year-old sister, his mother, and his grandmother had also died. No one yet realized it, but researchers now believe Emile was patient zero—the first person to contract and begin spreading the Ebola virus during this outbreak. There have been more than two dozen Ebola outbreaks since the virus’s discovery in 1976. The 2014 outbreak quickly became by far the most devastating.

Answer 3

The introductory paragraph primarily introduces the story of Emile and his family, as it discusses how Emile's infection and subsequent death initiated the Ebola outbreak. While it touches on aspects like the Ebola virus and the 2014 outbreak, the focus is primarily on Emile's story.
