CIDRAP reported yesterday that Ugandan health authorities, and the African CDC, now believe the entire ebola outbreak in Kamala traces to a single transmission chain / index case.
That would mean that the nearly 400 “contacts of contacts” — once cleared and/or vaccinated… may be the end of the outbreak. Here’s that encouraging news:
…Health officials from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) today said Uganda’s Ebola outbreak has stabilized and is under control, with the ongoing epidemiologic investigation suggesting a single transmission chain….
Authorities report that a vaccine trial with an initial supply of 2,000 candidate vaccine doses is under way now — in seven of eight rings that have been so far positively identified. Excellent; simply excellent… on the ground sleuthing.
