The Democratic Republic of the Congo's 17th Ebola outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain for which no vaccine exists, has reached 381 confirmed cases and 64 deaths as of June 3, 2026. While WHO revised earlier suspected case counts sharply downward, experts warn that only 45% of contacts are being traced, armed conflict blocks access to affected communities, and CDC projections suggest the outbreak could exceed 20,000 cases within three months if isolation rates remain low.
