Nigeria has confirmed its first Ebola death outside Lagos – a doctor in the oil hub of Port Harcourt.
His wife has been put under quarantine, while a further 70 people in the city are under surveillance.
Latest figures show more than 1,550 people have died of Ebola, with at least 3,000 confirmed cases - mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the total number of cases could potentially exceed 20,000.
In an action plan to deal with the outbreak, the WHO said that "the actual number of cases may be 2-4 fold higher than that currently reported" in some areas.
