This List of Ebola outbreaks records the occurrence of Ebola hemorrhagic fever throughout history. Pathogens of the disease are the five ebolaviruses recognized by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses: Ebola virus (EBOV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Reston virus (RESTV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV), and Bundibugyo virus (BDBV),[1][2][3][4][5][6] of which the Reston species has caused the illness only in other primates.[7][8] Transmission between natural reservoirs and humans is rare, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease are often traceable to a single case where an individual has handled the carcass of a gorilla, chimpanzee, or duiker.[9] The virus then spreads person-to-person, especially within families, hospitals, and during some mortuary rituals where contact among individuals becomes more likely.[10] Before outbreaks are confirmed in areas of weak surveillance on the local or regional levels, Ebola is often mistaken for malaria, typhoid fever, dysentery, influenza, or various bacterial infections that may be endemic to the region.
Learning from failed responses, such as that to the 2000 Uganda outbreak, public health measures including the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network were instituted in areas at high risk. Field laboratories were established to confirm cases, instead of shipping samples to South Africa.[11] Outbreaks are closely followed by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Special Pathogens Branch) as well.[12] Nigeria was the first country in West Africa to successfully curtail the virus within record time and its method also served as a model for other countries to follow.[13][14][15]
On 29 December 2015, 42 days after the last Ebola patient in Guinea tested negative for a second time, that country was declared free of Ebola transmission by the UN World Health Organization.[16] At that time, a 90-day period of "heightened surveillance" commenced in Guinea. "This is the first time that all three countries – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – have stopped the original chains of transmission ...", the organization stated in a news release.[17]
Events
Major or massive cases
Year | Country[note 1] | Virus | Human cases | Human deaths | Case fatality rate | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1976 | Sudan | SUDV | 284 | 151 | 53% | Occurred in Nzara, Maridi and surrounding areas between June and November 1976.[19] Mainly spread by personal contact in hospitals. Many medical care personnel were infected.[20] |
1976 | Zaire | EBOV | 318 | 280 | 88% | Main article: Yambuku § Ebola outbreak Occurred in Yambuku and surrounding areas in August. Spread by personal contact and use of contaminated needles and syringes in hospitals/clinics.[21] |
1979 | Sudan | SUDV | 34 | 22 | 65% | Occurred in Nzara, Maridi. Recurrent outbreak at the same site as the 1976 Sudan epidemic.[22] |
1994 | Gabon | EBOV | 52 | 31 | 60% | Occurred in Mékouka and other gold-mining camps deep in the rain forest. Thought to be yellow fever until 1995.[23] |
1995 | Zaire | EBOV | 315 | 254 | 81% | Occurred in Kikwit and surrounding areas. Traced to index case-patient who worked in forest adjoining the city. Epidemic spread through families and admission to a hospital.[24][25] |
1996 | Gabon | EBOV | 37 | 21 | 57% | Occurred in Mayibout area between January and April. A chimpanzee found dead in the forest was eaten by people hunting for food. Nineteen people who were involved in the butchery of the animal became ill; other cases occurred in family members.[23] |

A dead chimpanzee found in the forest at the time was determined to be infected.[23] |
2000–2001 | Uganda | SUDV | 425 | 224 | 53% | Occurred in Gulu, Masindi, and Mbarara districts of Uganda. The three greatest risks associated with Sudan virus infection were attending funerals of case-patients, having contact with case-patients in one's family, and providing medical care to case-patients without using adequate personal protective measures.[26] |

EBOV | 122 | 96 | 79% | Occurred over the border of Gabon and the Republic of the Congo between October 2001 and July 2002. First reported occurrence of Ebola virus disease in the Republic of the Congo.[27] |

2012 | Uganda | SUDV | 24 | 17 | 71% | Occurred in the Kibaale District between June and August.[33] |
2012 | Democratic Republic of the Congo | BDBV | 77 | 36 | 47% | Occurred in Province Orientale between June and November.[18][34] |

Main article: West African Ebola virus epidemic The most severe Ebola outbreak recorded in regards to both the number of human cases and fatalities began in Guéckédou, Guinea, in December 2013, and spread abroad.[40][41][42] Although the epidemic is no longer out of control, flare-ups of the disease have continued into 2016, and the WHO has warned that this may continue for some time.[43] |
2014 | Democratic Republic of the Congo | EBOV | 66[44] | 49[44] | 74% | Occurred in Équateur Province. Outbreak detected 24 August and according to the WHO, as of 28 October 2014 twenty days had passed since the last reported case was discharged and no new contacts were being followed.[44][45] Declared over on 15 November 2014.[46] |

Notes
- 1 2 In accordance with the sovereignty at the time.
- ↑ The mortality rate (death/case ratio) recorded in Liberia up to 26 August 2014 was 70%.[37] However, the general estimated case fatality rate (70.8%) for this ongoing epidemic differs from the ratio of the number of deaths divided by that of cases due to the estimation method used. Current infections have not run their course, and the estimate may be poor if reporting is biased towards severe cases.
- ↑ The Centers for Disease Control chronology notes this infection as "Sudan virus", whereas the 1977 British Medical Journal (BMJ) article refers to it as "Ebola virus". In 1977, there was not yet a distinction between different ebolaviruses. The BMJ article only notes that the patient received "convalescent serum from the Sudan" following similar serum from Zaire.
- 1 2 3 All cases were asymptomatic.
- ↑ The case was repatriated to Switzerland for medical treatment.[57]
