The latest Ebola is the Bundabugyo Ebola Virus that is spread through Bodily Fluids:

It appears that this bundibugyo  Ebola Virus is spread through bodily fluids which would be blood, saliva, urine and semen. So, this also could spread through kissing and sexual relations too which makes it a problem. There is also no treatment for this variation of Ebola Virus either which means more people might die and the fact that so many people have died already it is likely already more of a problem than previous   of Variations of Ebola, especially in Africa but also in all parts of the world exposed to this particular strain of the virus.

Generally speaking Ebola has a 30% to 50% fatality rate once someone gets this. 

begin partial quote from:

 

Health authorities have confirmed the current outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, a rare variant of the Ebola disease that has no approved therapeutics or vaccines. Although more than 20 Ebola outbreaks have taken place in Congo and Uganda, this is only the third time the Bundibugyo virus has been reported.

Officials first reported the spread of the disease in Congo’s eastern province of Ituri, close to Uganda and South Sudan, on Friday. On Saturday, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reported 336 suspected cases and 87 deaths.

Congo accounts for all except two of the cases, both of which were reported in neighboring Uganda, the WHO said.

Uganda on Saturday confirmed one case it said was imported from Congo, and said the patient died at a hospital in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, and the WHO said that a second case has been reported in Kampala. The two cases had no apparent links to each other and both patients had traveled from Congo, it added.

The Bundibugyo virus was first detected in Uganda’s Bundibugyo district during a 2007-2008 outbreak that infected 149 people and killed 37 people. The second time was in 2012 in an outbreak in Isiro, Congo, where 57 cases and 29 deaths were reported.
