Odd, MSF today confirmed 6 cases... http://www.msf.org.au/media-room/press-releases/press-release/article/ebola-epidemic-declared-in-guinea-medecins-sans-frontieres-launches-emergency-response.html
MSF sections currently in Guinea are OCB (Belgium) and OCG (Switzerland), I would imagine they would be the ones responding.
