Ebola Bundibugyo: Nigeria and Kenya index patients may have crossed paths at Entebbe Airport

Africa CDC suggests Nigeria's first Ebola Bundibugyo patient may have overlapped with Kenya's deceased index patient at Entebbe Airport on 3 October, indicating a potential common exposure point. The claim is speculative and unconfirmed, but if true, it would expand the outbreak's transmission network and raise concerns about cross-border spread. This matters because it could shift response priorities toward airport screening and contact tracing in Uganda.
