Caption:
This image was taken during Uganda’s July - August 2012, Ebola outbreak, and showed a Ugandan man posing for the camera, while wearing a t-shirt displaying drawings created in order to educate viewers, as to the visible symptoms associated with human plague. Note the representation of buboes on a child’s neck, axilla, and groin, indicative of markedly swollen lymph nodes, due to the infection by the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis. Plague and Ebola are two distinct diseases, and it was purely a coincidence that this man happened to be wearing this shirt, unrelated to the Ebola epidemic.
