The deadly Ebola outbreak is proving difficult to control
An Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ituri Province, with 223 deaths and over 900 suspected cases as of May 24. The lack of a specific vaccine or antiviral treatments, combined with community distrust and attacks on healthcare facilities, complicates containment efforts.
