An outbreak of the Bundibugyo variant of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has infected 482 suspected cases with 116 deaths since April, but the US has largely withdrawn from response efforts following cuts to USAID, the CDC, and the NIH. Public health experts say the US decision to dismantle global health infrastructure has made prevention and containment of the outbreak significantly more difficult.
