Ebola outbreak prompts global concern
The World Health Organization is warning that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could become one of the deadliest diseases in history, with over 11,000 deaths so far. The outbreak began in May in Ituri Province and is now the third-largest on record, with the death toll surpassing 2,000 out of 4,381 cases, resulting in a case fatality rate of 45.9%. The outbreak is linked to a rare strain of the Ebola virus called Bundibugyo, for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment. However, experts recommend evaluating the "Ervebo" vaccine in clinical trials.
