[Ralf Stephan]

Hello,

>We do not have detailed information on where in
>the district the teams will be heading but recent news reports
>indicate that there have been many cases of the disease in the town of
>Daru, so this and the area around it would be good places to start.

a bit more detailed information from CIDRAP:

Guinea
...
Four of the new cases and all of the latest deaths were reported in
Gueckedou, the hardest hit in the country's forested southwestern region
where the first cases were reported. The others were in Boffa prefecture,
on Guinea's eastern coast, north of the capital city of Conakry.

Sierra Leone
...
In Sierra Leone, 31 new cases and 4 new deaths were reported from Jun 15 to
Jun 17, most of them in Kailahun, a district in the country's Eastern
province, near the Guinea and Liberia borders.

Single cases were reported in other parts of Sierra Leone. One is in Kono,
another Eastern province city that is northwest of the main outbreak area
and Western area, on the opposite side of the country not far from
Freetown, the country's capital.

Liberia
...
Meanwhile, Liberia reported 9 new cases and 5 new deaths between Jun 11 and
Jun 15 in two different areas. Six of the illnesses were reported in Lofa,
an area in the northern part of the country near the border with Guinea.
The other 3 illnesses and all 5 of the deaths were in Montserrado, in
western Liberia near Monrovia.
