This is a devastating disease but not a true species killer since it kills the hosts so quickly.

Small comfort to the afflicted.

Tanzanian health authorities have cautioned people living in regions neighbouring the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following the outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the central African country.

Western Tanzanian regions bordering DRC include Mbeya, Rukwa, Kigoma and Kagera.

“All regional medical officers have been instructed to keep on alert because people from eastern parts of DRC enter into Tanzania through the four regions,” Wilson Mukama, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, said in a statement.

Meanwhile the UN World Health Organization (WHO) clarified that while the latest figures released by various sources mention 375 cases and 167 deaths in western Kasai Province of DRC, the cause of death cannot be confirmed yet.
