Virusul Ebola ar putea suferi mutații. Ce decizie iau autoritățile africane? • Newsweek România

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is worsening, raising concerns about potential mutations of the virus. Authorities report nearly 4,000 cases and over 1,800 deaths, with the outbreak being the second largest in history. Africa CDC is shifting strategies to actively search for patients rather than solely relying on contact tracing. They plan to use Remdesivir and evaluate the Ervebo vaccine's effectiveness. The epidemic is also impacting other health services, with a significant drop in measles vaccinations due to fear of infection.
