Yes of course and that's why the Maltese prevented and blocked all the ships coming from Africa because of it.

Zombies? More like bad to none medical knowledge. Most definitely, the medical personal claimed them dead, although they were just unconscious or had low health.

Hmm not really, ebola is just media with its typical sensationalism, there's a lot more infectous diseases that cause many more deaths but they don't talk about it (although the thing with ebola is that it has a higher mortality rate than most of them, I admit that)
Example:
AIDS: As of 2012, approximately 35.3 million people have HIV worldwide with the number of new infections that year being about 2.3 million, and 1.6 millon people died from AIDS in that year.
Malaria: The World Health Organization estimates that in 2012, there were 207 million cases of malaria. That year, the disease is estimated to have killed between 473,000 and 789,000 people.
Ebola: As of 22 September 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local governments reported a total of 6,405 suspected cases and 2,984 deaths (3,546 cases and 1,757 deaths having been laboratory confirmed)
