In 2014, an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) occurred. Genome sequencing has shown that this outbreak was not related to the 2014–15 West Africa Ebola virus epidemic, but was of the same EBOV species.[3] It began in August 2014 and was declared over in November of that year, after 42 days without any new cases.[1] This is the 7th outbreak there, three of which occurred during the period of Zaire.[4]
