Latest WHO situation report: 676 total reported cases across both countries; 132 deaths recorded; 668 contacts identified (541 in DRC, 127 in Uganda).

Key facts

  • Bundibugyo ebolavirus strain confirmed by PAHO — NO approved vaccine or monoclonal antibody therapy exists (Ervebo and mAb therapies cover Zaire ebolavirus only, not Bundibugyo).
  • WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 18 May 2026 — one of the highest-level global health alerts issued by the UN health agency.
  • Latest WHO situation report: 676 total reported cases across DRC (Ituri province) and Uganda, with 132 deaths and 668 contacts identified.
  • DRC has opened three dedicated Ebola treatment centers in Ituri province to isolate cases and reduce community transmission.
  • South Sudan has confirmed cross-border spread. South Africa, Germany and the United States are conducting active contact tracing for returning travelers. US CDC restricts entry from affected countries.
