An Ebola survivor participates in a study in Monrovia, Liberia, on June 17, 2015. The country launched a five-year study to unravel the mystery of the long-term health effects that plague survivors of the viral disease. Since the epidemic started more than a year ago in a remote village in Guinea, more than 11,000 people have died, the vast majority in three West African nations, <a href="http://apps.who.int/ebola/ebola-situation-reports" target="_blank" target="_blank">according to the latest numbers from the World Health Organization</a>. And that number is believed to be low, since there was widespread under-reporting of cases, according to WHO.
