Ebola ‘76 (Arabic: إيبولا 76) is a 2012 novel written by Sudanese author and medical doctor Amir Taj al-Sir.

On a hot, humid August day in 1976, The Democratic Republic of Congo is the setting of the first major Ebola outbreak.

Unfortunately, the outbreak is difficult to contain and control due to the squalid living conditions as a result of deep poverty, and the population's ignorance and apathy regarding the virus.

The novel goes on and shows Ebola's path of destruction in Nzara through Lewis' social connections and its devastating effect on the town as a whole.

[4][5][6] The Guardian was mixed in their review, stating that "Like a medieval danse macabre, Ebola leads a parade of wretches to the grave, but Tag Elsir’s apparent disdain for his characters robs his narrative of empathy and leaves the reader indifferent to the fate of Lewis, the blind guitarist Ruwadi, the washed‑up magician Jamadi and the rest.
