It is one of the world's most fatal and rare diseases.
Its last outbreak in West Africa killed more than 11-thousand people.
Now, Ebola appears to be back.
But this time, heading east, to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Where health officials have confirmed the outbreak after taking samples from victims in a remote northern village.
They're also trying to track down 125 people who may have been exposed.
So, what can be done to contain this latest outbreak of Ebola?

It's hard to get them to stop. Most of them love bushmeat and refuse to believe that it's harmful at all.

in my knowledge is the cycle of infection how fast do the symptoms emerge. the west african one was more dangerous coz it took up to 21 days to notice the symptoms. the congo one was only 24 hours which was easier to contain. than the 21 days. any information on the congo one? how quickly do someone notice that he is infected

yes. there is. and they are sending it over as a speak. after all in order to test a vaccine without full approval, as an experiment you have to have an outbreak. think about it.
