How do you stop an outbreak you can't even reach? The DR Congo Ebola outbreak has surpassed 1,700 deaths, making it the fastest-growing in recorded history, and unlike the Zaire strain that existing vaccines target, this is the Bundibugyo strain — no licensed vaccine covers it. Armed conflict in the affected regions is blocking aid workers from reaching entire communities. Is this containable with the tools currently available, or are we watching the limits of outbreak response in real time?
