The health ministry of Uganda has confirmed the death of one person due to a new Ebola outbreak in Kampala. This news has also prompted a medical aid team from the WHO to help tackle the disease.
A suspected case of Disease X was reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Disease X is likely to be as fast-spreading as the COVID-19 and as deadly as the Ebola virus, according to scientists. Read on to know more about it.
This is the 11th Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since the virus was first discovered in the country in 1976. The new Ebola outbreak has so far killed four people in the country's western city of Mbandaka.
According to WHO, in the year 2018, the average EVD case fatality rate was around 50 per cent globally.
The team demonstrated that a two-antibody cocktail called MBP134 could fully protect non-human primates and ferrets against lethal Ebola virus infections caused by the Bundibugyo and Sudan strain.
Northwestern University used mass spectrometry -- a technique that identifies specific elements in a sample by mass -- to search for interactions between human proteins and Ebola virus proteins.
As per as the latest health ministry bulletin, the recent outbreak has killed 55 out of the 90 cases reported. On August 1, the first outbreak was recorded in the North Kivu province.
The ministry confirmed about the latest cases near the town of Mangina in Congo's North Kivu province. However, the disease has not touched the red zone.
Ebola virus spread through direct contact with body fluids and it can cause hemorrhagic fever, vomiting and diarrhoea.
