What Bundibugyo Ebola vaccines and treatments are under development
Global health authorities are working to develop vaccines and treatments for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola amid an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The World Health Organization has identified several experimental candidates, including a promising single-dose vaccine and antibody therapies. The situation remains critical, with the number of cases and deaths expected to rise as efforts to contain the outbreak continue.
- ▪The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola currently has no approved vaccines or treatments.
- ▪The WHO has recommended prioritizing several experimental drugs and vaccines for BDBV.
- ▪A single-dose vaccine candidate, rVSV Bundibugyo, shows promise and is advancing towards clinical trials.
