D\u00e9clar\u00e9e officiellement le 15 mai 2026 apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tect\u00e9e en Ituri, cette \u00e9pid\u00e9mie constitue la 17\u1d49 \u00e9pid\u00e9mie d\u2019Ebola enregistr\u00e9e en RDC et est caus\u00e9e par le virus Bundibugyo, une souche distincte du virus Ebola Za\u00efre, \u00e0 l\u2019origine notamment de la grande \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de 2018-2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le nombre de d\u00e9c\u00e8s a doubl\u00e9, passant de plus de 1 000 \u00e0 plus de 2 000 en seulement trois semaines, faisant de cette \u00e9pid\u00e9mie l\u2019une des \u00e9volutions les plus rapides jamais observ\u00e9es en RDC ; \u00e0 titre de comparaison, il avait fallu plus d\u2019un an pour atteindre un bilan similaire lors de l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9mie de 2018-2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon l\u2019OMS, le virus aurait circul\u00e9 plusieurs mois avant la d\u00e9tection officielle de l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9mie, une situation qui, selon le directeur r\u00e9gional de l\u2019OMS pour l\u2019Afrique, Dr Mohamed Yakub Janabi, a consid\u00e9rablement compliqu\u00e9 les efforts visant \u00e0 contenir sa propagation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Le virus conserve une longueur d\u2019avance sur nous \u00bb, a-t-il entre autres d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lors d\u2019un point de presse \u00e0 Bunia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s son apparition en Ituri, la maladie s\u2019est propag\u00e9e \u00e0 plusieurs provinces de l\u2019est et du nord-est de la RDC, notamment au Nord-Kivu, au Sud-Kivu, dans la Tshopo et au Haut-U\u00e9l\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Par ailleurs, dans certaines zones touch\u00e9es par les conflits, o\u00f9 l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux soins demeure difficile, l\u2019OMS souligne le fait que la transmission communautaire reste importante, tandis que toutes les cha\u00eenes de transmission ne sont pas encore identifi\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le virus Bundibugyo ne dispose actuellement ni d\u2019un vaccin homologu\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifique ni d\u2019un traitement sp\u00e9cifique approuv\u00e9. Des essais cliniques sont toutefois men\u00e9s en RDC afin d\u2019\u00e9valuer diff\u00e9rentes options th\u00e9rapeutiques et vaccinales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019OMS pr\u00e9cise notamment que le vaccin ‘Ervebo’, homologu\u00e9 contre le virus Ebola Za\u00efre, fait l\u2019objet d\u2019\u00e9tudes afin de d\u00e9terminer s\u2019il pourrait offrir une certaine protection contre le virus Bundibugyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019OMS consid\u00e8re par ailleurs cette \u00e9pid\u00e9mie comme une urgence de sant\u00e9 publique de port\u00e9e internationale (PHEIC), n\u00e9cessitant une coordination internationale de la r\u00e9ponse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
