http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070911/ap_on_he_me/congo_ebola;_ylt=Aqo77uXW8RKt9_atGBcoy3NZ24cA Congo confirms deadly Ebola outbreak The World Health Organization issued an alert Tuesday urging more doctors to travel to Congo to combat an outbreak of Ebola fever, which kills nearly all of those it infects and has no cure or treatment. The Congolese government on Tuesday declared a quarantine of the area in southeastern Congo, spokesman Toussaint Tshilobo said. Experts from Medecins Sans Frontieres are already treating patients, but more help was needed. The United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a lab in Gabon confirmed the disease as a hemorrhagic fever, and specifically as Ebola, Health Minister Makwenge Kaput said on national television Monday. He did not provide further details.
