The CDC's June 5 modeling warns the current Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda could exceed 20,000 cases within three months under worst-case scenarios, potentially rivaling the 2014–2016 West Africa epidemic that killed over 11,000 people. Compounding the crisis: no approved vaccine exists for the Bundibugyo strain, armed conflict in eastern Congo has collapsed contact tracing to under 40% in the hardest-hit province, and the outbreak may have been spreading undetected since January or February 2026.
