A major outbreak of Bundibugyo virus disease (a severe Ebola strain) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has killed 828 people out of 2,124 confirmed cases as of July 2026, with cross-border spread documented in Uganda, France, and Germany. The outbreak persists in a humanitarian crisis zone where security incidents and population displacement are hampering containment efforts, and healthcare workers continue to be infected despite response measures.

A Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda has grown rapidly to 134 confirmed cases with 18 deaths as of late May 2026, with transmission concentrated in DRC's Ituri province and spreading to Uganda's capital region. Security incidents and community resistance in affected areas are hampering outbreak response efforts, while a U.S. medical worker exposed during patient care in DRC tested positive and was transported to Germany for treatment.
