ONE CHAIN, REPEATED SPILLOVER, OR AN UNRELATED EARLY SIGNAL?

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> A retrospective field investigation described substantial illness and mortality in and around Mongbwalu from January 2026, several months before Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD) was formally recognised in May. Historical BDBV evidence includes a genomic reconstruction compatible with multiple spillovers, while other orthoebolavirus outbreaks have involved survivor-associated r...
