The Ebola outbreak in the DRC has officially become the largest recorded in the country's history, with 3,532 confirmed cases and 1,556 deaths. It is now the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, behind only the West Africa outbreak which infected over 28,000 people.

Critical surveillance gaps in the DRC, per Africa CDC: >80% of new Ebola cases are not linked to known contacts (hidden transmission chains). >60% of deaths occur in the community, outside treatment centers.

Reporting over 100 new Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period pushes the DRC outbreak past 3,000 total cases, as sustained community transmission reaches Haut Uele. A breakdown of the latest data and what to watch out for: outbreakanalyst.substack.com/p/over-100-c...

Very worrying. DRC just reported 125 new confirmed Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period, right after passing 100 daily cases for the first time yesterday. The outbreak is accelerating, not just driven by more testing: 50% of all tests in Ituri were positive.

For the first time in the current outbreak, the DRC has reported over 100 new Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period. Total confirmed cases have now officially surpassed 3,000.

The DRC reports 97 new confirmed Ebola cases, the highest single day total of the outbreak so far. An additional 62 deaths were recorded, mostly in the community, indicating that unmonitored transmission chains are spreading unchecked.

The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the DRC has officially passed 1,000 confirmed deaths, reaching over 2,500 total cases in just over two months. It remains the fastest growing Ebola outbreak on record.

Per the latest DRC SITREP, three new health zones in Haut Uele have confirmed 14 Ebola cases and 13 deaths, including a case in the capital city of Isiro. 😬 This extreme fatality rate suggests massive underreporting and is very bad news for nearby South Sudan.

If Ebola Bundibugyo establishes uncontrolled community transmission in Kisangani, it has a direct waterborne corridor to Kinshasa, a megacity of 21.9 million. Why the expansion into Haut Uele and Tshopo threatens a multi nation epidemic: open.substack.com/pub/outbreak...

How well is the WHO’s latest Ebola model holding up? With 1,274 confirmed cases in the DRC as of June 27, the real-world trajectory is locking firmly into the model's "central scenario" (projecting 8,210 cases by Sept 16). outbreakanalyst.substack.com/p/how-the-wh...

H5 bird flu found in wastewater in New Jersey and Las Vegas, according to CDC's wastewater program. New Jersey don't have any known cases of H5N1 bird flu in poultry or dairy cattle.

Wastewater testing doesn't tell you the source of the positive test. Could be from infected dairy cattle, wild birds, poultry or a human that is infected. We would probably know by now if it's dairy cattle, since New Jersey is testing all their milk according to USDA's national program.
