Dear Donor,
The current outbreak is caused by Bundibugyo virus, making research especially important.
WHO states that evidence remains insufficient to establish the effectiveness of Ervebo against Bundibugyo virus, while research into vaccine options continues.
DRC's new vaccination campaign for frontline workers is therefore being conducted alongside research efforts.
Development Alert continues promoting evidence-based health information so communities understand the difference between established protection and interventions still being studied.
The outbreak has reached 7,475 confirmed cases and 3,605 deaths.
Research can provide critical evidence for future outbreaks and strengthen the global understanding of this less common Ebola species.
Today's research can become tomorrow's lifesaving preparedness tool.
