Ebola Bundibugyo variant spreads in DRC, 3,799 dead, no vaccine

The WHO confirms the Bundibugyo Ebola variant has spread to two new locations in northern DRC, raising affected regions to 63 and cases to over 7,890 with at least 3,799 deaths, making this the deadliest outbreak in DRC history. The lack of a vaccine or treatment for this variant complicates containment, and the ongoing spread indicates a worsening public-health emergency.
