In the latest Ebola outbreak centered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda, health officials have reported 10 confirmed positive cases and at least 88 deaths. 

Due to challenges with testing and tracking, there are also approximately 336 suspected cases in the region. The outbreak has been driven by the Bundibugyo virus strain. 

Because the virus has spread to key border regions and cities, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this outbreak a global health emergency.
