New Ebola cases in Congo: What you need to know
A new Ebola outbreak involving the Bundibugyo strain is circulating in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with transmission occurring through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, including from highly contagious deceased patient corpses, and existing approved Ebola vaccines are not effective against this variant. Containment efforts are hindered by population mobility, regional conflict, local traditional burial practices, and lack of targeted treatments for the Bundibugyo strain, though multiple new vaccine candidates targeting the variant are in early development.
