How do we detect and stop deadly outbreaks before they spread?

Our latest case report published in Nature Medicine, describes Uganda’s first confirmed case of Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD) in 2026. The patient presented with symptoms that initially resembled many common illnesses, highlighting one of the greatest challenges in outbreak detection: viral haemorrhagic fevers often begin with non-specific symptoms that can delay diagnosis and response.

Using Uganda’s national surveillance and laboratory systems, a posthumous sample was rapidly referred, tested, and confirmed as Bundibugyo ebolavirus. Advanced genomic sequencing revealed that the virus belongs to a distinct lineage, providing important insights into its evolution and transmission.

Beyond documenting a single case, this study highlights the critical importance of strong surveillance systems, effective collaboration between private healthcare facilities and public health authorities, rapid specimen referral networks, and access to molecular and genomic diagnostics.

In an era of increasing cross-border movement and emerging infectious disease threats, early detection remains our most powerful tool for interrupting transmission, protecting communities, and enabling a coordinated public health response. The challenge, however, diagnostics remain the less funded pillar of epidemic preparedness and response compared to therapeutics and vaccines.

This case is a reminder that investments in epidemic preparedness, laboratory capacity, and genomic surveillance save lives long before outbreaks become emergencies.

Thanks to the Ugandan team who worked around the clock to get this paper out as soon as possible. @MinofHealthUG @GovUganda @WHO @WHOUganda @WHOAFRO @AfricaCDC @CDCgov @CEPIvaccines @EDCTP3 @univofstandrews @ICER_Global @MWayengera @winterzie @DianaAtwine @brucekirenga @Infection_StAnd @DrTedros

@HirooOnodaon I don't see them winning the Tashkent people. They play like Iran.

@HirooOnodaon In all fairness, there's nothing to compete against honestly, Messi won WC , a hatrick already.

Do you not have the Champions photo lifting the trophy?

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Back where we belong 👑

[Kabazzi @JKabazzi]

@CultonScovia We are not in North London!!! People work 365 days a year, this celebration is not the reason why poor people become rich and vice-versa. Jam has always been an issue in this country's capital ling before Arsenal won the Trophy 🏆

@MwesigyeWalter Walter, you're a health reporter, a very good reporter btw. You know much more about risk communication; you should concentrate on that at the moment.

@KOmukungu Banter is much better than emotional susu claims😂

@UEDCLTD What exactly is the problem with Mutungo's electricity? 2 days now with darkeness allover!!

[Kabazzi @JKabazzi]

@TiffanyFong @grok : Why is it so?

[Kabazzi @JKabazzi]

@UEDCLTD , why now?😌

@DailyMonitor This might be true but the choice of the photo is very chaotic😂. People are suffering with very heavy sacks yet in growing economies,.....1😂
