The epidemic in West Africa - the worst in the disease's history - has killed some 2,100 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria and has also spread to Senegal. The World Health Organization believes it will take six to nine months to contain. (Reporting by Umaru Fofana; Writing by Joe Bavier; Editing by Daniel Flynn)
