We had seen many Ebola outbreaks in Central Africa, but probably none like this

WHO declared an international health emergency over a Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The outbreak has grown to more than 800 suspected or confirmed cases and 180 deaths, with spread into Uganda.

The strain has no approved vaccine or treatment, making rapid diagnosis, contact tracing, and containment especially difficult.

Conflict, weak surveillance, and diagnostic gaps are hampering efforts to control the disease before it spreads further.
