  1. Follow-up: Nigeria's first Ebola case matches DR Congo outbreak strain; patient had holidayed in Uganda

    Al Jazeera reported Nigeria's Centre for Disease Control said on Oct 21 that molecular testing confirmed the country's first Ebola case as the same strain causing the DR Congo outbreak, also confirmed by WHO; the strain has no vaccine or specific treatment, and this is the outbreak's first spread to West Africa. BBC reported the patient, the 42-year-old Ugandan-born wife of a diplomat living in Abuja, spent two and a half weeks in Kampala, transited in Ethiopia's capital and returned to Abuja on Oct 3, falling ill three days later. Health minister Muhammad Ali Pate said she was stable and improving and 44 contacts had been traced.
