Scientific teams from the Institut Pasteur International Network involved in ongoing efforts to tackle Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Institut Pasteur International Network is playing an active part in efforts to combat the Ebola outbreak currently raging in North Kivu and Ituri Provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as it did for the duration of the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, by drawing on the expertise of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar and several of its scientists currently deployed in the DRC. The team of scientists from the "Arboviruses and Hemorrhagic Fevers" WHO Collaborating Center is involved in diagnostic work in the field, alongside the DRC's National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB). The Institut Pasteur de Dakar will continue to offer its support in the response to this outbreak, which WHO declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on July 17, 2019.
