The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is caused by a different virus strain than the one circulating in West Africa, a new study shows. Researchers conclude that the two Ebola outbreaks are not linked to one another. At least 49 people have died from Ebola in Congo between July 26 and October 7, 2014.
