Standard tests struggle to detect the Bundibugyo.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Over 1,000 suspected cases and at least 220 deaths had already been recorded as of Tuesday, including seven confirmed cases in Uganda. But the World Health Organization and aid groups on the ground say the outbreak is much larger.<\/p>\n<p>Ebola is a highly contagious virus and can be contracted from bodily fluids such as vomit, blood or semen. The disease it causes is rare but severe and often fatal. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain and unexplained bleeding or bruising.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Congo has for years seen attacks by dozens of separate rebel and militant groups, some of them with links to foreign countries or the extremist Islamic State group.<\/p>\n<p>The Rwanda-backed M23 rebels are in control of parts of the region. While the Congolese government still largely controls the northeastern Ituri Province, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, that control is tenuous. The Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan Islamist group linked to IS, is one of the dominant rebel groups there and responsible for violent attacks against civilian targets.<\/p>\n<p>Before the outbreak, humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders said in an assessment that the insecurity in Ituri had worsened recently, causing doctors and nurses to flee and leaving overwhelmed health facilities and in some parts, \u201ccatastrophic conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>G\u00e9rard Maki, a community leader in the camp, told AP the disease is very frightening. \u201cI\u2019ve learned that there\u2019s no cure, which is why it scares me. \u2026 Our government should also do everything possible to find a solution to this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Pronczuk reported from Dakar, Senegal.
