BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ebola virus: Your questions

An Ebola doctor from the World Health Organisation answers your questions about the virus

On BBC OS today we are talking about the Ebola outbreak in central Africa. Around 1,400 people have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo, three more have now died in Uganda. We have a senior doctor from the World Health Organisation (WHO) taking questions from our audience. We'll hear what the virus is, how it spreads and how the outbreak might be contained. Also, we hear reaction from someone living in the South Indian city of Chennai. The city has been in the news because it has run out of drinking water, but today it rained. And we'll hear the latest on the heightened tensions between the US and Iran over a surveillance drone shot down by Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
