DRC: a strain of Ebola kills nine people After Uganda in early July, is now the DRC which is affected by an outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever.
Eleven cases "probable or confirmed" were identified in the town of Isiro in the northeast of the country. Of these, nine deaths have been reported. Several teams of the Ministry of Public Health, WHO and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) are working on site. The virus strain identified is less deadly than other known strains, but remains very dangerous.

86 cases of contact (virus) have been identified and that we should follow. On ne les a pas encore tous vus. It has not yet seen them all. And suspected cases, there is still work that is underway by the field teams to make a definitive list.
