UN Ebola chief raises 'nightmare' prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne if it is not quickly brought under control

• UN warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
• The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation
• The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot'
• NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour
• More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began
• Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus
• British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided
• Will Pooley was first Briton to contract virus after working in Sierra Leone
