DRC Ebola Outbreak Reaches Second-Largest on Record

The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has become the second-largest on record, with over 10,400 confirmed cases and 5,100 deaths. A recent CDC report highlights significant gaps in surveillance, contact tracing, and isolation efforts, leading to transmission outside known chains. Cases have also spread to Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and France, underscoring the urgent need for improved public health interventions to contain the expanding crisis.
