Brazil Ebola Fears Put to Rest
Description
Brazil breathed a sigh of relief after two suspected Ebola cases were ruled out—both patients tested negative and were instead diagnosed with meningitis and malaria. This prevents the virus from spreading outside Africa for the first time since the current outbreak began in the DRC. With over 1,000 suspected cases and 246 deaths in the DRC, and nine confirmed cases in Uganda, scientists are racing to develop three new vaccines targeting the Bundibugyo strain, led by major institutions including Oxford, Moderna, and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.
