"Nine people have died in an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Health Minister Felix Kabangue said on Saturday," Agence France-Presse reports (8/18). "Congolese health officials notified the World Health Organization (WHO) Friday, according to a WHO Global Alert and Response (GAR)," Examiner.com adds (Herriman, 8/17). "The outbreak is in Isiro, a busy town in Democratic Republic of Congo's Oriental province, which shares a border with Uganda, but the strain of the deadly disease is different to the one that killed 16 there last month, [Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)] said," Reuters writes (8/18).
