U.S. officials are warning Americans not to visit a Central African nation, home to the world’s second-largest rainforest, amid a deadly Ebola outbreak.<\/p>\n

The U.S. State Department raised its travel advisory<\/a> for the Democratic Republic of the Congo from Level 3 to Level 4 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The advisory emphasizes Congo’s Ituri Province, which is located in the northeast region, though Ebola cases have also been reported in Goma and the capital city of Kinshasa.<\/p>\n

Officials said the outbreak was caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola virus, a rarer variant for which existing vaccines<\/a> may be less effective.<\/p>\n

As of Monday, Congo’s Health Cluster reported over 390 suspected cases and 105 deaths in Congo, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The State Department warns that Ebola is a “rare, severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever illness.”<\/p>\n

The virus<\/a> can spread through direct contact with infected individuals, bodily fluids, infected corpses and objects contaminated with the virus.<\/p>\n

“The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Ituri province,” the advisory noted. “Do not travel to this area for any reason.”<\/p>\n

Though the outbreak appears to be the main cause of the advisory escalation, officials are also warning Americans about crime and civil unrest<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n

The advisory noted that U.S. government employees in Kinshasa need special permission to travel outside the city “due to safety risks.”<\/p>\n

“The U.S. embassy has extremely limited ability to provide routine or emergency consular services outside of Kinshasa,” the advisory warned.<\/p>\n

“The local health infrastructure is inadequate. Health services, hygiene and quality control do not meet U.S. standards of care. Pharmacies are not well-regulated. Locally available medications<\/a> may be unsafe,” the advisory noted.<\/p>\n

The advisory also stated that petty crimes \u2014 including pickpocketing and burglary \u2014 are common. Violent crimes, including armed robbery and armed home invasion, were also noted.<\/p>\n

“Criminals may pose as police or security agents,” the State Department warned.<\/p>\n

“Local police do\u00a0not always inform the U.S. embassy when they arrest a U.S. citizen. They may also delay access to detained U.S. citizens\u00a0or\u00a0use\u00a0violence and threats during interrogations.”<\/p>\n

While not a mainstream tourist destination<\/a>, Congo attracts adventure travelers drawn to its volcanoes, rainforests and rare mountain gorillas.<\/p>\n

The country is known for the Congo Basin, the world’s second-largest rainforest after the Amazon.<\/p>\n

Scenic destinations in the country include Virunga National Park and Mount Nyiragongo, which contains one of the world’s largest active lava lakes.<\/p>\n
