The 2014-2016 Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreak affected over 29000 people and left behind the biggest cohort (over 17000 individuals) of Ebola survivors in history. Although the persistence of EBOV in body fluids of survivors was reported before the recent outbreak, new evidence revealed that the virus can be detected up to 18 months in the semen, which represents the biggest risk of Ebola resurgence in affected communities. In this study, we review the knowledge on the Ebola flare-ups that occurred after the peak of the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
2014-2016 年埃博拉病毒（EBOV）疾病爆发影响了超过 29000 人，并留下了历史上最大的埃博拉幸存者队列（超过 17000 人）。尽管在最近的疫情爆发之前就有报道称，幸存者的体液中仍存在埃博拉病毒，但新的证据显示，该病毒在精液中可被检测到长达 18 个月，这代表着受影响社区中埃博拉病毒死灰复燃的最大风险。在这项研究中，我们回顾了 2014-2016 年西非埃博拉疫情高峰过后发生的埃博拉病毒爆发的相关知识。
