The fifth American to contract Ebola in west Africa arrived in Omaha on Monday morning, as the first patient diagnosed with the disease in the US fights for his life in Dallas.

A specially equipped plane carrying Ashoka Mukpo, an American journalist who contracted Ebola while covering the outbreak in Liberia, landed at Eppley airfield in Omaha. Mukpo was then taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center, where he will be treated in a biomedical isolation unit – the largest in the country.

Mukpo was working in Liberia as a freelance cameraman for NBC News when he tested positive with Ebola last week. As a precautionary measure, the NBC news crew he was working with will remain in isolation for 21 days, the incubation period for the disease. The quarantined team includes NBC News chief medical editor Dr Nancy Snyderman.
