An outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has become the country's most deadly on record, Africa's public health watchdog reported. Since the Bundibugyo strain was first reported on 15 May, there have been almost 5,000 cases and more than 2,000 deaths.
By 23 August, the outbreak will have reached 100 days. Officials and health experts are examining how the DRC's Bundibugyo strain became the country's largest Ebola epidemic and what measures must be taken to prevent it from becoming the world's largest outbreak.
