TL;DR: Analysis of sequences from 232 patients sampled over 7 months in Sierra Leone, along with 86 previously released genomes from earlier in the epidemic, confirms sustained human-to-human transmission within Sierra Leone and finds no evidence for import or export of EBOV across national borders after its initial introduction.
