Liberia's government has ordered that all bodies of people killed by the Ebola virus must be cremated.
The decision follows the refusal of some communities to allow the burial of Ebola victims on their land.
Meanwhile, Nigeria says it has a second Ebola case - that of one of the doctors who treated a man who died from Ebola after his arrival from Liberia.
This year's outbreak, the worst ever, has centred on Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing 887 people.
It spreads by contact with infected blood and bodily fluids - and touching the body of someone who has died of Ebola is particularly dangerous.
Nigeria's Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said that 70 people have been traced who came into contact with the man who died there, Patrick Sawyer, eight of whom are now in isolation.
Sawyer, an employee of the Liberian finance ministry, had arrived in Lagos from Monrovia after changing planes in Togo's capital, Lome, on 20 July and died five days later in quarantine.
As part of efforts to help contain the outbreak, the US says it is planning to send at least 50 public health experts within the next 30 days.
Who wants a red Ferrari when you could have a bright yellow SpongeBob SquarePants-themed set of wheels to impress your friends – and make fellow road users green with envy – with? If you love SpongeBob (or even if you don’t), this is the ultimate piece of fan merch you simply need to get your hands on. To celebrate the release of the SpongeBob movie in 2015, Nickelodeon and Toyota have teamed up to create the car-of-all-cars – the SpongeBob Toyota Sienna minivan. Currently on display at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, it has SpongeBob’s classic bright yellow exterior, character-themed seats and the coolest wheel you’ve ever seen.
