Exponential Growth’ in the Ebola Outbreak: What does it mean?

The effective reproduction number, Rt, of Ebola virus disease was estimated using country-specific data reported from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to the World Health Organization from March to August, 2014. Rt for the three countries lies consistently above 1.0 since June 2014. Country-specific Rt for Liberia and Sierra Leone have lied between 1.0 and 2.0.

If reproduction number is below 1 then it will die out by it self. If it is above 1 then it will spread.
