What you need to know about the Ebola outbreak that has the WHO concerned

<https://theconversation.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-ebola-outbreak-that-has-the-who-concerned-283133>

"The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak in Africa a
public health emergency of international concern.

So far, 336 people have been infected in the central African and East African
countries of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 88 people
have died.

Ebola is caused by a group of viruses called Orthoebolaviruses. The strain of
the virus responsible for the outbreak, Bundibugyo, is rare. There is no
vaccine to protect the public from its spread, making it particularly
dangerous.

The WHO declares a public health emergency of international concern when there
is a serious, sudden, unusual or unexpected outbreak that requires an
international response to reduce its spread.

It has previously declared public health emergencies during outbreaks of mpox,
COVID, Ebola, Zika, polio and swine flu."
