WHO: Congo Ebola outbreak began months before official declaration

The World Health Organization has stated that the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo began several months before it was officially declared. This delay in identification, partly due to initial misdiagnoses as malaria or typhoid fever, has allowed the virus to spread significantly. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, has resulted in over 4,200 confirmed cases and more than 1,900 deaths, with no approved vaccines or treatments available. AI
