尼日利亚卫生部长穆罕默德·阿里·帕特周五表示,对尼日利亚唯一确诊埃博拉病例的基因组分析显示,该病毒与肯尼亚首发病例中检测到的毒株关系密切,这为两起疫情提供了首个遗传学关联。
记者 卡米卢斯·埃博赫、乔治·奥布卢察 报道 尼日利亚当局表示,没有证据表明肯尼亚首发病例曾前往尼日利亚,或与尼日利亚病例有直接关联。
Genomic analysis of Nigeria's only confirmed Ebola case shows the virus is closely related to the strain detected in Kenya's index case, Nigeria's health minister Muhammad Ali Pate said on Friday, offering the first genetic link between the outbreaks.

帕特称,与该病例相关的接触者正在被追踪、隔离和检测,部分结果呈阴性,其他结果仍在等待中。
尼日利亚仅记录了一例来自曾访问乌干达的旅行者的确诊埃博拉病例。
By Camillus Eboh, George Obulutsa Nigerian authorities said there is no evidence that the Kenya index case traveled to Nigeria or had a direct connection to the Nigerian case.
乌干达与刚果民主共和国(DRC)接壤,曾多次应对埃博拉疫情,该国周五表示仍无埃博拉疫情,但正在加强预防措施。
乌干达卫生部称,已恢复要求所有入境人员填写旅行者定位表,无论原籍国为何。
乌干达表示,有前往刚果民主共和国(疫情起源地)旅行史的旅客将不被允许过境该国。
Pate said contacts linked to the case are being traced, quarantined and tested, with some results negative and others still pending Nigeria has recorded only one confirmed Ebola case from a traveller who had visited Uganda Uganda, which borders the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and has previously battled Ebola outbreaks, said on Friday it remained Ebola-free but was tightening precautions Uganda's health ministry said traveller locator forms had been reinstated for all arrivals, regardless of country of origin Uganda said travellers with a history of travel to the DRC, where the outbreak began, will not be permitted to transit the country
