New Ebola Virus Strain in Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ebola en RDC : une nouvelle souche du virus

Paris, 15 octobre 2014

Alors qu’une épidémie d’Ebola fait rage depuis mars 2014 en Afrique de l’Ouest, un foyer de cette fièvre hémorragique est apparu en République démocratique du Congo (RDC) au mois d’août dernier, laissant craindre une propagation du virus en Afrique centrale. Une étude associant l’IRD, l’Institut Pasteur, le CNRS, le CIRMF au Gabon, l’INRB en RDC et l’OMS, publiée dans la revue New England Journal of Medicine le 16 octobre 2014, confirme qu’il s’agit d’une épidémie d’Ebola. Mais celle-ci est due à une souche locale du virus, différente de celle qui sévit à l’Ouest du continent. Si ce résultat montre que les deux épidémies ne sont pas liées, il illustre l’accélération de l’émergence de la maladie, dont il devient urgent de comprendre les modalités de propagation.
