Outbreak facts

CDC and WHO context

Medical and operational context is separated from case totals so preparedness actions do not inflate outbreak counts.

Transmission

Direct contact risk

Ebola disease spreads through direct contact with blood or body fluids of a person sick with or dead from Ebola, contaminated objects, or infected animals. It is not contagious until symptoms appear.

Bundibugyo virus

No approved strain-specific vaccine

CDC says there is no vaccine for Bundibugyo virus and that treatment consists of supportive care. WHO says there are no approved Bundibugyo-specific vaccines or therapeutics.

Risk

High regional, low global

WHO says risk is high at national and regional levels but low globally. CDC says the risk to the American public and travelers remains low.
