Ebola: Now in East Africa – Uganda Tests First Possible Victim

The Ugandan health ministry spokesman Rukia Nakamatte has revealed to the Straits Times of Singapore that the country is currently testing its first possible victim.

“There is a suspected case, samples have been taken from the suspect and we are analysing them,” he said.

Although Uganda suffered from the Ebola epidemic in the 2012, this will be the first person to be tested in East Africa for the disease since its outbreak in West Africa in March 2014.

The patient was stopped in Uganda’s main Entebbe Airport showing symptoms of fever even though he came from South Sudan where no cases of the Ebola virus have been reported.

Burkina Faso Bans Hunting for Bats over Ebola Fears

Ouagadougou (Xinhua/NAN) ─ Burkina Faso’s Ministry of Environment on Thursday in Ouagadougou announced the outright ban on special hunting for bats, the main carrier of Ebola virus.

It said the special hunt for bats which began on July 1 to Aug. 31 has been suspended across the national territory due to risks associated with Ebola fever.

The statement said this has become imperative because the Ebola virus is caused by a virus transmitted to human beings through bats or rats.

It said it is very contagious and transmitted through direct contact with patients, infected body fluids as well as cloths of those infected with the disease.

The health ministry said even though no case has so far been reported in Burkina Faso, but the measures had been put in place to counter any eventual outbreak of the disease.
