Summary

An outbreak in Nzérékoré Prefecture, southern Guinea, infected 23 people and killed 12 (CFR 52%). Genomic analysis showed the virus was closely related to strains from the 2014-16 West Africa epidemic — evidence of persistent infection in a survivor for at least five years rather than a fresh zoonotic spillover.

Why this matters

First confirmed multi-year survivor-mediated reactivation of Ebola; reshaped post-epidemic survivor surveillance practice.
