Na fronteira entre a República Democrática do Congo e o Uganda, um vírus antigo ressurge sob uma forma que a medicina moderna ainda não sabe combater diretamente. A estirpe Bundibugyo do Ebola — a mais rara de todas — avança sem vacina aprovada nem tratamento específico, tendo já ceifado pelo menos 80 vidas entre 246 casos suspeitos. A OMS emitiu o seu mais alto nível de alerta, reconhecendo que o que começa numa província remota pode, num mundo interligado, tornar-se uma ameaça partilhada por todos.
