Members of CMMID are working on the Ebola outbreak caused by Bundibugyo ebolavirus.
This page shows an overview of ongoing work.
Status:
A stochastic simulation model finds that syndromic airport screening would fail to detect most Bundibugyo ebolavirus-infected travellers, because most depart while still pre-symptomatic.
We collected epidemiological data, including key dates, and analysed the historical risk of Ebola importation as well as the time-varying risk of Ebola importation during the 2014-2016 West African Ebola epidemic.
We use a simple transmission model to explore different scenarios of how safe and dignified burial (SDB) could affect the Bundibugyo epidemic's trajectory, and thus inform decisions about which targets an SDB service should set out to achieve.
