Nigeria reported its first Ebola case in more than a decade on Tuesday, becoming the fourth African country and the most populous yet to be affected by an outbreak that health officials have described as the fastest-spreading on record.

What happened

The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.

The outbreak in DR Congo has been caused by the Bundibugyo species of Ebola, which is relatively rare, with no approved vaccine or treatment - though trials are under way.

“Travel through Uganda does not establish that infection occurred here,” Uganda’s health ministry said, adding that the country has no active Ebola cases.
