  5. #US taps small #SanDiego #biotech for experimental #Ebola treatment as epidemic worsens
    Biotech, #MappBiopharmaceutical, “has shipped doses for potential use in high-risk individuals,” a spokesperson for HHS said, “as part of coordinated preparedness efforts.”
    The antibody was originally developed in collaboration with the B-ARPA for Sudan virus, a species of #ebolavirus separate from the #Bundibugyo species that is causing the current epidemic.

  6. > At least 80 deaths have now been reported in a new Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo as health officials race to contain the spread through screening and contact tracing efforts. Authorities say the outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola and has already spread across multiple health zones in Ituri province, with a related case also confirmed in neighboring Uganda. Local residents described constant burials and growing fear as officials warned the region’s instability and limited infrastructure could complicate containment efforts. The World Health Organization and regional health agencies are assisting Congo as concerns grow about wider cross-border transmission.
