US citizen tests positive for Ebola in Congo

A U.S. citizen working for a humanitarian organization in Congo tested positive for Ebola, as the country faces a rapidly growing outbreak with 1,830 confirmed cases and 648 deaths. The CDC is collaborating with local and international partners to contain the outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved vaccine or treatment. Challenges include funding gaps, attacks on health centers, and conflict in eastern Congo.
