<\/div>\n

The alert was raised on May 5<\/a>. Four health-care workers in the Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo had died from an unknown illness within four days.<\/p>\n

Rapid response teams were sent to investigate, and tests at a research center in Kinshasa revealed the culprit: the Bundibugyo virus, one of the viruses that cause Ebola. Suspected cases of the disease have snowballed in the last few weeks. By May 24, the WHO had estimated that 223 people had died from the disease. There were over 900 suspected cases. Today\u2019s figures are likely to be higher.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I covered the hantavirus outbreak<\/a> aboard a cruise ship. Three people sadly died, but the outbreak itself was kept under control. There have been no further deaths, and passengers have been safely repatriated. The picture for Ebola is far bleaker. And there are several reasons why.<\/p>\n

The most obvious is the disease itself. Ebola is a severe disease with an average 50% fatality rate. Previous outbreaks have resulted in thousands of deaths. (Hantavirus also has a high fatality rate, but it doesn\u2019t usually spread as easily between humans.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between 2014 and 2016, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa caused more than 11,000 deaths. A more recent outbreak, which took place between 2018 and 2020, caused 2,299 deaths before being brought under control with a vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n

But those outbreaks were caused by the Zaire virus, which has a different genetic sequence. There is no vaccine for the Bundibugyo virus. We don\u2019t know if the two vaccines approved for Zaire might also work for Bundibugyo. There\u2019s a concern they might even make things worse by interfering with a person\u2019s immune response to the virus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scientists are working on potential Bundibugyo vaccines<\/a>. But the most advanced efforts are still months away from clinical trials. There are no specific antiviral treatments for the virus, either.<\/p>\n

So to control the outbreak, health-care workers are trying to stop the spread of the disease. Ebolaviruses can be transmitted to humans by animals including fruit bats, chimpanzees, and gorillas. They can then spread between people via contact with bodily fluids such as blood or vomit.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the virus is often spread among family members, to health-care workers, and during some burial services. The WHO advises<\/a> isolating people who have the virus in treatment centers. It also recommends safe burial measures that limit physical contact with the deceased, for example. Communities need to be informed about the virus and how it spreads, and health professionals should be on hand to diagnose cases and track them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all easier said than done in an era of misinformation. Some members of the community even doubt whether the disease is real<\/a>. There have been three attacks on health-care facilities in the region in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Last week, two treatment centers were burned down<\/a>. The first incident occurred after relatives of a deceased man were prohibited from retrieving his (infectious) body. As a result of the second incident, 18 suspected cases reentered the community.<\/p>\n

A couple of days later, a group of men unleashed gunfire at Mongbwalu General Hospital<\/a>, which was also treating people with Ebola. They were demanding the bodies of their deceased relatives.<\/p>\n

There are more causes for concern when it comes to the spread of the virus. The Ebola outbreak is thought to have originated in Mongbwalu, a high-traffic mining hub<\/a>. People who caught the virus in Mongbwalu are thought to have sought care in neighboring districts. And the wider province borders both South Sudan and Uganda. So far, Uganda has reported<\/a> seven confirmed cases and one death. South Sudan\u2019s health ministry has said<\/a> it will strengthen surveillance, but no cases have been reported in the country so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Violence in the region is making it much harder to contain the spread of the virus, too. Conflict involving multiple armed groups, including deadly attacks on civilians<\/a>, has hampered humanitarian and health-care efforts. Poor infrastructure and damaged roads make matters even worse. Food insecurity is ravaging the region as well\u2014this year, nearly 10 million people in the region face acute hunger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together, these factors are making it \u201cnearly impossible\u201d to isolate people with Ebola and trace others who have been in contact with them, WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said<\/a> in a statement earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The dismantling of US aid programs<\/a> hasn\u2019t helped either. US government funding for international health projects has steeply declined since the start of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term. These cuts have harmed disease surveillance systems, according to the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian nonprofit.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunding cuts have left the region dangerously exposed,\u201d Heather Reoch Kerr, the organization\u2019s country director for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cYears of underinvestment and recent funding cuts have left many health facilities without adequate protective equipment, surveillance capacity, or frontline support needed to respond quickly and safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US has mobilized emergency funding for the outbreak, and a spokesperson for the State Department has argued<\/a> that none of the administration\u2019s actions have hampered the Ebola response. But health experts counter that the damage has already been done.<\/p>\n

On May 17, the WHO declared<\/a> the Ebola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. In a statement<\/a> on Wednesday, Tedros described the situation as \u201ca catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response.\u201dIn an online appeal to residents<\/a> on Wednesday, ahead of an in-person visit, Tedros pleaded for a ceasefire and commended the spirit of community members. He also acknowledged the steep challenges they face. \u201cYou are already carrying so much: malaria, hunger, insecurity, and the daily struggle to keep your families safe,\u201d he wrote in French. \u201cAnd now Ebola.
