Investigations began to identify mysterious disease in Southern Sudan
October 10, 2009 (GENEVA) ― The World Health Organization and the southern Sudan government have began to investigate reports about a mysterious disease, suspected to be Ebola outbreak, that killed 23 people among them 20 soldiers of the SPLA.
The World Health Organization’s Global Alert and Response Department said it began receiving reports of an outbreak of viral hemmorhagic fever late last month in the village of Kitkit in the Western Bahr al-Ghazal state where the unexplained disease was very widespread.
スーダンのKitkitという村で、エボラ様の出血熱のアウトブレイクがあった模様。ウイルスの同定のために研究者が当地に入ろうとしても、雨がひどく、入ることができないらしい。Ebolaではなく、先日報告されたRujoの可能性もあるのではなかろうか。こういうことに慣れてはずの現地の軍人が主な死者というのが少し気になる。
