Ebola in S.A.

Twenty-six cases of the disease have been diagnosed there since July, and at least 17 people have died.

That has created a great deal of concern in that huge metropolitan area, though public health officials say the disease does not appear to be spreading there. NPR's Richard Harris reports.
