UN Ebola chief raises 'nightmare' prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious

                        
The longer the Ebola epidemic continues infecting people unabated the higher the chances it will mutate and become airborne, the UN Secretary General's Special Representative, Anthony Banbury (top right), has said. His comments come as organisations battling the crisis in West Africa warn that the international community has just four weeks to stop it before it spirals 'completely out of control'. Also pictured are a burial team, dressed in protective clothing removing a victim's body from isolation in Sierra Leone, and health workers in Liberia spraying themselves with disinfectant.
