Miguel Pajares, 75, was airlifted to the Spanish capital from
Liberia on August 7 after contracting the virus, which has
already claimed the lives of over 1,000 people in the
current epidemic sweeping West Africa.
He was struck down while working for a non-governmental
organisation in the country.
He was repatriated to Spain alongside nun Juliana Bohi, who
has tested negative for the disease.
But his death will raise fears that despite frantic efforts
to contain the spread, its reach has spread beyond African
shores.
Miguel was treated with a rare experimental drug created
to treat the disease but it failed to save his life.
ZMapp has been engineered with three antibodies which bind
to infected cells so the immune system can kill them.
The two American aid workers currently being treated
at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after being flown
back to the US have also received doses of the drug.
