BUNIA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO / RankWire.AI / – The World Health Organization reported that 80% of recent Ebola cases in eastern Congo are due to unidentified transmission routes. Many patients were not recorded on contact lists prior to testing confirming their infection. This gap hampers early isolation efforts and delays treatment for symptomatic individuals. Response teams often identify new clusters only after patients present at clinics or succumb in their communities. The ongoing outbreak involves the less common Bundibugyo virus strain.
