Last update: an hour agoEbola Update: Transmission is easing in parts of Ituri and North Kivu, but new hotspots are emerging near South Sudan. By Oct. 6, the outbreak had caused 4,205 deaths among 8,728 confirmed cases; 47 of 64 affected health zones still reported active spread, with insecurity hampering surveillance. Vaccine Research: Phase Ib trials of Oxford’s Bundibugyo Ebola vaccine began in Uganda, with Moderna’s candidate also cleared for trials. No vaccine is approved specifically for this strain; the 70,000 Ervebo doses delivered to the DRC have not been proven effective against it. Regional Alert: Kenya’s first Ebola death after travel from the DRC via Uganda has exposed gaps in border screening. Officials identified 57 contacts, with 10 in quarantine. Kinshasa Air Quality: The city recorded an unhealthy air-quality index of 193 on Thursday, ranking third among the world’s most polluted cities.
