The Ministry of Health has asked Ivorians, \"particularly fond of porcupine and agouti,\" a small rodent, to avoid consuming or handling bushmeat, as an unprecedented Ebola epidemic hit West Africa. The virus can spread to animal primates and humans who handle infected meat -- a risk given the informal trade in \"bushmeat\" in forested central and west Africa. (Issouf Sanogo/AFP/Getty Images)

Nigeria was on alert against the possible spread of Ebola on July 26, a day after the first confirmed death from the virus in Lagos, the country\'s financial capital and Africa\'s biggest city. The health ministry said Friday that a 40-year-old Liberian man died at a private hospital in Lagos from the disease, which has now killed more than 650 people in four west African countries since January.
