Document: Despite emerging in the megacity of Lagos, the Nigeria EVD outbreak was well documented and well contained because of rapid detection of the index case and thorough contact tracing throughout the outbreak. Contact tracing provides a detailed understanding of viral spread, which is key to controlling any viral outbreak. Sequencing of patient samples can also be used to understand transmission routes and is especially important in cases where contact tracing is not available, or when contact tracing cannot completely resolve a transmission chain.
