This was the result of tests widely deployed in the field having been designed around Zaire ebolavirus, so that they could not reliably detect Bundibugyo ebolavirus infection.<\/p><p>By the time the infection was confirmed, suspected cases and deaths had already been reported across several health zones in the DRC&#8217;s eastern Ituri Province. Ituri Province, a commercial and mining hub bordering Uganda and South Sudan, sees heavy population movement and therefore carries a high risk of spread. Indeed, the infection later spread to North Kivu and South Kivu, and even in Kampala, the Ugandan capital across the border, confirmed cases traced to the DRC were identified.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d48838f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d48838f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-768x564.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-12194\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-768x564.png 768w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-1024x752.png 1024w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-2000x1469.png 2000w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-1536x1128.png 1536w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-2048x1505.png 2048w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-667x490.png 667w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-650x478.png 650w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-550x404.png 550w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-460x338.png 460w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-450x331.png 450w, https:\/\/rightfoundation.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/D_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc7ac\ub2e8_\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8\uc2a4\ud1a0\ub9ac_6\uc6d4_\uc5d0\ubcfc\ub77c_\ubcf8\ubb38_5_260710-350x257.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b313b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8b313b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Ebola Outbreak: Current Situation \u2013 Map of affected areas<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Data as of: DRC, July 1, 2026 \/ Uganda, July 2, 2026<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e09f84f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e09f84f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>RIGHT Foundation has supported research and development so that the technologies needed for infectious-disease response can be developed in time to meet urgent needs in global health; during the COVID-19 pandemic as well, it backed rapid research and development by supporting nine related projects.
