Xinhua News Agency reports two people have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo after showing symptoms similar to those caused by the Ebola virus.
A rickshaw driver and one of his passengers died in Bumba, 500 km north of Mbandaka, while the driver's wife who had displayed the same symptoms was in intensive care, the WHO said.
I have been unable to find anything about this outbreak on the World Health Organizations web sites.
The most recent Ebola outbreak, confirmed by the WHO, occurred in northwestern Democratic Republic of Congo from April to June 2005. Nine people were killed in that outbreak.
