Nigeria: WHO says no vaccine or specific treatment for Bundibugyo Ebola strain

The WHO says there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the Bundibugyo strain involved in Nigeria’s index Ebola case. The Punch reports that the diplomat diagnosed in Abuja’s Federal Capital Territory has deteriorated into multi-organ failure as federal and state authorities step up surveillance, contact tracing and emergency preparedness. The newspaper review also reports that the Senate disputes NMDPRA fuel-import figures, just 108 of about 39,000 underage UTME candidates passed government screening, and more than 6,000 public projects have been abandoned.
