The data publishing platform Silk has created a world map depicting the spread of the Ebola virus, which causes the highly deadly hemorrhagic fever.

The data-driven view of the Ebola outbreak includes detailed information of the epidemic’s history with data from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

“The latest outbreak of Ebola is the worst ever,” Silk’s site notes.

The current outbreak, which began in March and has lasted seven months, started in Southeastern Guinea — a first for an Ebola epidemic. As of Oct. 10, it has resulted in 8,376 cases and 4,024 deaths. The outbreak has spread into multiple other countries, most intensely in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
