There’s a LOT going on as researchers and public health experts race to respond to the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak in DRC and Uganda before it grows bigger.
Some really important questions still open, but also a few answers coming into view🧪
My overview in @science.org is here (and thread coming):
Initial genomic characterization of the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in Eastern DRC with cases in Uganda. Join work between INRB in DRC and CPHL in Uganda plus many partners.
