DAKAR (Reuters) - In a sandy street of the Senegalese capital Dakar, a hand emerges from behind the door of a run-down house to grab a bundle of baguettes from an aid worker as police officers watch.

Behind the wooden door, 33 people are being kept in quarantine after a 21-year-old student from neighbouring Guinea came to stay there at his uncle's house a fortnight ago. With him, he brought the deadly Ebola virus.
