Initial outbreak linked to bat consumption
The WHO’s Africa office reported that the first outbreak occurred in the town of Boloko. It was linked to three children who ate a bat and later developed symptoms of hemorrhagic fever. All three died within 48 hours.
Concerns over animal-to-human disease transmission
Health officials have long warned about the risks of diseases spreading from animals to humans, particularly in regions where wild animals are consumed. The WHO noted in 2022 that such outbreaks in Africa have increased by over 60% in the past decade.
Second outbreak and ongoing investigations
A second outbreak of the unidentified illness was reported in the town of Bomate on February 9. The WHO stated that samples from 13 cases have been sent to the National Institute for Biomedical Research in Kinshasa for analysis.
Tests rule out common hemorrhagic fevers
Preliminary tests have ruled out Ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers like Marburg. Some patients have tested positive for malaria. Last year, another mystery illness that killed dozens in a different region of Congo was ultimately identified as likely malaria.
