截至2026年6月中旬，由本迪布焦病毒引起的伊波拉疫情持續影響著剛果民主共和國(DRC)與烏干達。
Officially declared on May 15, 2026, the situation has prompted global concern, with the WHO designating it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
疫情於2026年5月15日正式宣布，引發全球關注，世界衛生組織(WHO)將其列為「國際關注的公共衛生緊急事件」。
In the DRC, particularly in the Ituri province, 676 cases and 136 deaths have been recorded.
在剛果民主共和國，特別是伊圖里省，已記錄了676例病例和136例死亡。
Uganda has reported 19 confirmed cases, primarily in the Kampala area.
烏干達則報告了19例確診病例，主要集中在坎帕拉地區。
The Bundibugyo virus presents a unique challenge because, unlike other strains, there are currently no approved vaccines or specific therapeutics available to treat it.
本迪布焦病毒帶來了獨特的挑戰，因為與其他毒株不同，目前尚無獲准的疫苗或特定的治療方法可用於治療該病毒。
Consequently, health officials are relying on traditional containment methods, including rigorous contact tracing, patient isolation, and safe burial practices.
因此，衛生官員正依賴傳統的遏制方法，包括嚴格的接觸者追蹤、患者隔離以及安全的喪葬規範。
With previous fatality rates for this virus ranging between 30% and 50%, monitoring and rapid response remain critical priorities for health organizations working to contain the spread across the region.
鑑於此病毒以往的致死率介於30%至50%之間，監測與快速反應仍是各衛生組織為遏制該地區疫情蔓延而努力的關鍵首要任務。
