Africa CDC Investigates Nigeria's Ebola Case Linked to Kenya Amid Regional Screening Measures
Scientists from Africa CDC are investigating Nigeria's first Ebola case in over a decade, involving a Ugandan-born woman who had not visited the outbreak epicenter in Congo. Genomic sequencing links her virus to a recent Ebola case in Kenya, though no direct contact was found. Ugandan officials are reviewing travel and contact data, intensifying screening and quarantine measures for travelers from Congo to prevent further spread of the Bundibugyo Ebola strain.
