Society for AIDS in Africa Concerned Over Ebola Outbreak in DRC and Uganda

The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has infected over 1,000 people in Congo and 20 in Uganda, reaching the highest first-month confirmed case total of any Ebola outbreak on record. Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya warned the outbreak could surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic, which killed more than 11,000 people.

The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has infected over 1,000 people in Congo and 20 in Uganda, reaching the highest first-month confirmed case total of any Ebola outbreak on record. Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya warned the outbreak could surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic, which killed more than 11,000 people.

Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya said funding needed to fight the outbreak has risen to $1.4 billion — nearly triple an earlier estimate of $518 million. "If we don't have this $1.4 billion and if we don't resolve the humanitarian issue, we will not stop this outbreak," he said.

A health worker who supported the Ebola response in Congo's Ituri province from May 19 to June 19 was diagnosed with Ebola in France after developing mild symptoms upon returning. Africa CDC confirmed the case was caused by the Bundibugyo-type Ebola virus and said the worker had left Congo without symptoms.

The outbreak is centered in Ituri province, where hospitals in Bunia are overwhelmed and treatment centers have been attacked or set on fire. Save the Children warned the crisis is unfolding amid conflict, mass displacement and severely compromised health care systems.

Researchers have linked increased deforestation in central Africa to higher rates of Ebola transmission, with one 2025 analysis finding that each percentage-point rise in deforestation correlates with a 20% to 40% spike in Ebola incidence. Artisanal mining, which employs an estimated 2 million people in Congo, has been identified as a driver of forest loss.

WHO reported 1,048 confirmed cases and 267 deaths as of late June, with laboratory testing capacity scaling from 30 tests per day at the outbreak's start to over 2,000 per day across eight decentralized labs. Contact tracing remains a critical gap, with more than 36,000 exposed individuals still unlocated.
