🧬 Special Edition – Response to the 16th Ebola Outbreak in Kasai, DRC

Our special newsletter edition is now available on our website!

This issue highlights the pivotal role of the @labgenpath (INRB) in the rapid confirmation of the Ebola outbreak through virological and genetic analyses.
It also sheds light on the deployment of mobile laboratories in Bulape and Mweka, key scientific collaborations, and technological innovations that enhanced the efficiency and coordination of the response.

🔬 A deep dive into science, surveillance, and inter-institutional collaboration for public health in the DRC.

🧬 Extension of the Sequencing Laboratory in Mweka

On 29 September, the @inrb_kinshasa established an extension of its sequencing laboratory in Mweka, located 35 km from the Bulape health zone.
A specialized team was deployed and a mobile laboratory installed to strengthen diagnostic capacities closer to the affected areas. This new facility will cover the health areas surrounding Mweka, ensuring rapid and reliable diagnosis of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). With its sequencing capacity, it also enables real-time genomic sequencing, providing more precise and immediate genomic surveillance. #INRB #PublicHealth #SequencingLab #Mweka #DRC #EVD #GenomicSurveillance #EbolaResponse #ScientificResearch #GlobalHealth

New in Nature Comms: We applied metagenomic and targeted NGS to serum samples from undiagnosed febrile patients across Uganda. This work highlights how NGS can transform viral surveillance in LMICs—especially with infrastructure now in place post-COVID. 🔗 https://t.co/EQ0uXRdUIy
