Tracking the 2026 Ebola outbreak in maps and figures: Locations, severity, how contagious it is and more - NBC News
Overview
Mapping and figures summarize the 2026 Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC, showing clustering, severity, and cross-border spread into neighboring countries such as Uganda. The analysis highlights that this outbreak involves the less common Bundibugyo strain, which currently has no approved vaccine or specific treatment, and visualizes the risk of wider spread. As the World Cup concentrates large numbers of international travelers, public health officials warn that measles and respiratory viruses may pose more immediate transmission risks in stadiums and fan zones, but the potential for Ebola exportation reinforces the need for layered surveillance and rapid detection.
