During the 2018-2020 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in North Kivu province Democratic Republic of Congo, EVD was diagnosed a patient who had received recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-based vaccine expressing ZEBOV glycoprotein (rVSV-ZEBOV) (Merck).His treatment included an (EBOV)-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb114), and he recovered within 14 days.However, 6 months later, presented again with severe EVD-like illness EBOV viremia, died.We initiated epidemiologic genomic...
Between January and August 2024, mpox cases have been reported in nearly all provinces of the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC). Monkeypox virus genome sequences were obtained from 11 cases’ samples, collected July–August 2024 several health zones Kinshasa. Characterisation showed subclades Ia Ib co-circulating Limete zone, while phylogenetic analyses suggested multiple introductions two This illustrates growing complexity Clade I outbreaks DRC.
Abstract The Democratic Republic of the Congo declared its tenth Ebola virus disease outbreak in July 2018, which has circulated primarily Nord Kivu province. In addition to standard epidemiologic surveillance and response efforts, Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale implemented an end-to-end genomic system, including sequencing, bioinformatic analysis, dissemination results frontline public health workers. Here we report 538 new genomes from this outbreak; together with previously...
Abstract Mpox cases have been reported in nearly all provinces of the Democratic Republic Congo as August 2024. Monkeypox virus positive samples from Kinshasa, collected between July and mid-August 2024, were sequenced using a probe-based enrichment or optimized tiling sequencing protocol. With multiple introductions both Clade Ia (7/12) Ib (5/12), marking its Limete health zone specifically, an area with co-circulation I, unique observation illustrating growing complexity I mpox outbreaks DRC.
