A new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri province has killed at least 65 people out of 246 suspected cases, with preliminary lab results suggesting a non-Zaire ebolavirus strain — a finding that could render existing vaccines and treatments ineffective. The outbreak, concentrated in the remote and conflict-affected health zones of Mongwalu and Rwampara, marks the DRC's 17th Ebola event since 1976 and has prompted Africa CDC to convene emergency cross-border coordination with Uganda and South Sudan.
