WHO regional department in DR Congo says 11th outbreak of Ebola virus defeated

Moscow, Nov 18 (Sputnik) DR Congo has overcome the eleventh outbreak of the Ebola virus, which had been circulating for half a year in the Central African nation, the World Health Organization (WHO) regional department announced on Wednesday.
The WHO estimates a 50-percent fatality rate from the Ebola disease, which is transmitted to humans from wild animals. The virus takes its name from the DRC's Ebola River, which is near where the virus was discovered by Belgian microbiologist Peter Piot in 1976.
"Today marks the end of the 11th Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), nearly six months after the first cases were reported in Equateur Province," the office said.
