In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model is developed and analyzed to study the dynamics of Ebola virus (EVD) and the effects of some control strategies. The model validity is investigated and was found to be locally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number and unstable otherwise. Pontryagin's maximum principle is applied to obtain the optimality conditions. Numerical simulation was carried out and the results obtained indicate that a combination of all three control parameters is highly effective in containing the spread of the virus.
