콩고 민주 공화국에서의 발병 - 1976 년 이래로 Democratic Republic of the Congo에서 에볼라 바이러스 감염이 여러 차례 발병(outbreak)했습니다. 한 가지를 제외한 모든 바이러스가 Zaire strain of the virus에 의해 발생했습니다. 전체적으로 약 1000 건과 800 건의 사망이 발생했습니다. 그러나 서아프리카의 epidemic 과는 달리 이 발병은 신속하게 억제되었습니다.

Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus are the three species of Ebola virus responsible for the larger outbreaks in Africa. Zaire ebolavirus, the most fatal Ebola virus, was associated with the 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa, the largest Ebola outbreak to date with more than 28,600 cases. Other large outbreaks of Zaire ebolavirus have resulted in hundreds of cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Gabon. Smaller outbreaks of this species have also occurred in DRC and Gabon, as well as the Republic of the Congo and South Africa. Sudan ebolavirus, with a fatality rate of 50 percent, has been the cause of several outbreaks in Uganda and others near the border between South Sudan and DRC. Bundibugyo ebolavirus, discovered in 2007, was associated with two outbreaks, one in DRC and the other on the border of DRC and Uganda. Taï Forest ebolavirus, the only other Ebola virus found in West Africa to date, was the cause of one case identified in Côte d’Ivoire.
