The Uncharted Territory of Ebola's Bundibugyo Strain The latest outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has sparked concern among global health officials.
The virus behind this epidemic, the Bundibugyo strain, is a less common form of Ebola that has been largely overlooked until now.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency on Sunday, citing the rapid spread of the disease across borders and "significant uncertainties" in estimating the true number of infected persons.
