Last update: 11 hours agoChild Health: A new multicenter study in Mbujimayi examines survival and risk factors among children hospitalized with severe malaria; its available report does not give the findings.

Just 12% of confirmed cases were among known contacts, pointing to major detection gaps; insecurity and mistrust are also hampering the response. Cases linked to the outbreak have been reported in other countries, including Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria. Vaccine Trial: The Tumaini trial has begun in Bunia, testing the existing Ervebo vaccine for possible protection against Bundibugyo Ebola, alongside candidates designed for the strain. No vaccine or specific treatment is approved for Bundibugyo.
