Ebola Makes A Comback.
At least 131 people are believed to have been killed and 531 suspected to have been infected in the latest outbreak, according to the Congolese Ministry of Health. An American missionary was among those who tested positive for the deadly disease.
Global health experts are worried about the capacity of this outbreak to cause widespread illness and death in central Africa — not least because this rare strain of the disease, the Bundibugyo virus, has no approved vaccine or treatment. The outbreak was also undetected for weeks, adding to the complexities in containing it.
