Understanding the Ebola Resurgence
The resurgence of Ebola virus represents one of the most significant ongoing public health challenges of our time. Since the devastating West African epidemic (2014–2016) that claimed over 11,000 lives, sporadic outbreaks have continued to emerge across Central and West Africa. The virus remains endemic in reservoir animal populations, and environmental, social, and healthcare disruptions continue to create conditions for human-to-human transmission. This dashboard provides real-time surveillance of current outbreak data, enabling healthcare professionals, researchers, and public health officials to monitor the situation and coordinate rapid response efforts.

Current Situation
Ebola virus disease remains a significant threat in Central and West Africa. Recent outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Guinea have demonstrated the virus's persistent circulation in wildlife reservoirs and its capacity to jump to human populations. Clinical management has improved with supportive care and early intervention, but transmission chains continue to emerge.
The case fatality rate varies by ebolavirus species and depends on timely access to healthcare, with rates ranging from 40-90% in untreated cases. Early detection and isolation are critical to breaking transmission chains.
What We Track
This dashboard monitors:
• Confirmed cases and case fatality rates
• Geographic distribution and transmission patterns
• Hospital capacity and resource allocation
• Vaccination and prophylaxis availability
• Contact tracing and epidemiological data

CLINICAL CONTEXT
Ebola virus causes fulminant hemorrhagic fever with sudden onset of fever, severe weakness, muscle pain, and headache. Progression involves hemorrhagic manifestations, coagulopathy, and multi-organ failure. Incubation period ranges from 2-21 days. Post-exposure prophylaxis with monoclonal antibodies (rVSV-ZEBOV) and supportive care are critical interventions.
