The World Health Organisation (WHO) says the Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing the highest number of confirmed Ebola cases recorded within the first month of an outbreak.

The Bundibugyo strain outbreak has infected more than 1 000 people and claimed 267 lives. 

Health experts say the virus had been circulating for months before authorities officially declared the outbreak on 15 May. Meanwhile, the United States has supplied doses of an experimental antibody treatment developed by Mapp Biopharmaceutical for use in clinical trials aimed at containing the rapidly spreading outbreak.
