It has been effective in animals but has never been tested on humans.<br /><br />The Ebola outbreak is the world’s largest and deadliest. More than 1000 people have died, the majority of them in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.<br /><br />On Tuesday the first European died of Ebola. Spanish priest Miguel Pajares was working at a Catholic hospital in the Liberian capital when he contracted the virus.<br /><br />The 75-year-old was airlifted back to Spain last week. He had been treated with the US experimental drug, Zmapp but died in hospital in Madrid
