Although a global wildlife summit banned all trade of the pangolin, an anteater with a distinctive coat of hard scales, doubts remain whether that will stop the illegal traffic of pangolins in Africa fueled by a growing demand from Asian consumers, particularly Chinese.

In this photo taken on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, a woman prisoner suspected of suffering from the Ebola virus, from Tubmanburg central prison, is pushed in a wheelchair towards a medical vehicle, to be taken to an Ebola treatment center in Monrovia, Liberia. The Ebola outbreak has spawned a “silent killer,” experts say: hidden cases of malaria, pneumonia, typhoid and the like that are going untreated because people in the countries hardest hit by Ebola either cannot find an open clinic or are too afraid to go to one.
