Mali confirms first Ebola case: a 2-year-old girl.

Mali has confirmed it's first Ebola case late Thursday,  making it the sixth West Africa country to get the disease this year. The BBC has reported that the case involves a 2 year old girl.

The World Health Organization has not yet analyzed and confirmed the case. But it's not especially surprising that the virus has spread to Mali given the country shares a border with Guinea, where the outbreak originated and continues to spread out of control.
