Africa\u2019s top public health agency confirmed a new Ebola outbreak<\/a> in Congo on Friday after 65 deaths and 246 suspected cases were recorded in the country\u2019s remote Ituri province.<\/p>\n

Health officials are now investigating whether the outbreak involves the Ebola Zaire strain \u2014 the deadliest and most well-known version of the virus \u2014 or a different variant, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

Neighboring Uganda also confirmed one Ebola-related death involving a Congolese man whose case officials said was imported from Congo.<\/p>\n

The outbreak has been concentrated in the Mongwalu and Rwampara health zones in eastern Congo, an area near<\/a> the borders of Uganda and South Sudan that officials warned could become a regional transmission risk because of mining-related travel, weak infrastructure and ongoing insecurity.<\/p>\n

Ebola is a highly contagious and often fatal disease spread through bodily fluids including blood, vomit and semen. Symptoms can include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and internal bleeding.<\/p>\n

The Africa CDC said only four of the deaths have so far been laboratory confirmed, while testing and sequencing efforts continue to determine the exact strain involved in the outbreak.<\/p>\n

Initial tests suggested the outbreak may not involve the Ebola Zaire strain, which was responsible for Congo\u2019s devastating 2018-2020 epidemic that killed more than 1,000 people.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization<\/a> (WHO) said it sent a response team to the region last week to help local officials investigate the outbreak and collect samples.<\/p>\n

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Congo has a “strong track record” responding to Ebola outbreaks<\/a> and announced the agency is releasing $500,000 in emergency funding to support containment efforts.<\/p>\n

Health authorities said Congo has stockpiles of Ebola treatments and approximately 2,000 doses of the Ervebo vaccine, though officials cautioned the vaccine is only effective against the Ebola Zaire strain and not against Sudan or Bundibugyo variants.<\/p>\n

This marks Congo\u2019s 17th recorded Ebola outbreak since the virus was first identified in the country in 1976.<\/p>\n
