"We are starting to ramp up our staffing in Lagos," US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Tom Skinner told AFP. "We are really concerned about Lagos and the potential for spread there, given the fact that Lagos -- and Nigeria for that matter -- has never seen Ebola." Nigeria became the fourth West African country involved in the largest Ebola outbreak in history when a dual US-Liberian citizen who was infected with Ebola traveled by plane to Lagos on July 20.</p><br clear="all"/>
