瑞士外交部证实，在尼日利亚检测出埃博拉病毒阳性的女性是瑞士一名外交官的妻子。
Switzerland's foreign ministry has confirmed that the woman who has tested positive for Ebola in Nigeria is the wife of a Swiss diplomat.
这名42岁的女性是乌干达裔，居住在尼日利亚首都阿布贾，于10月20日检测出该病毒阳性，成为该国十多年来首个确诊的埃博拉患者。
The woman, a 42-year-old Ugandan-born national who lives in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, tested positive for the virus on 20 October, becoming the country's first confirmed Ebola patient in more than a decade.
两人本月早些时候都曾前往乌干达。据瑞士外交部称，她的丈夫目前正在隔离，但尚未出现任何症状。
They both travelled to Uganda earlier this month. Her husband is currently in isolation but has not developed any symptoms, according to the Swiss foreign ministry.
该部告诉BBC，其驻尼日利亚大使馆的全部25名工作人员健康状况良好，无需隔离。
The ministry told the BBC that all 25 staff at its embassy in Nigeria were in good health and did not need to isolate.
该部表示，这名女性在确诊前曾在阿布贾一家私人诊所因出现症状待了大约一周。
The ministry said the woman had spent about a week at a private clinic in Abuja with symptoms before her diagnosis.
该部认为她是在乌干达旅行期间感染了该病毒，尽管卫生当局尚未确定她的感染来源。
It believes she contracted the virus while travelling in Uganda, although health authorities have yet to establish the source of her infection.
乌干达与刚果民主共和国接壤，该国最致命的埃博拉疫情已导致约4600人死亡。今年5月疫情暴发后不久，乌干达有两人死亡，但自8月以来该国已被宣布无埃博拉疫情。
Uganda borders Democratic Republic of Congo, where some 4,600 have died in the country's most deadly outbreak of Ebola. Two people died in Uganda shortly after the outbreak began in May but it has been declared free of Ebola since August.
该部表示，不隔离大使馆8名瑞士籍和17名当地雇员的决定是与尼日利亚卫生部和世界卫生组织（WHO）协商后作出的。该部还表示，大使馆仍在开放和运作，并已采取健康和安全措施。
The ministry said the decision not to isolate the embassy's eight Swiss and 17 local employees was taken in consultation with Nigeria's Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO). It added that the embassy remained open and operational, with health and safety measures in place.
据世卫组织称，这名女性正在隔离中接受治疗，并已显示出好转的迹象。她在乌干达待了大约两周半后，于10月3日返回尼日利亚。
The woman is receiving treatment in isolation and is showing signs of improvement, according to the WHO. She returned to Nigeria on 3 October after spending about two and a half weeks in Uganda.
瑞士政府周五告诉路透社，该患者没有前往刚果民主共和国，这与乌干达方面的说法相矛盾。
The patient did not travel to DR Congo, the Swiss government told Reuters news agency on Friday, contradicting accounts from Uganda.
她在抵达阿布贾四天后出现症状，并先后在两家私人医疗机构求诊，随后于10月20日检测出埃博拉病毒阳性。
She developed symptoms four days after arriving in Abuja and sought treatment at two private health facilities before testing positive for Ebola on 20 October.
卫生官员目前正在调查她是否可能与一名肯尼亚男子有过交集，该男子死于埃博拉病毒，并曾在同一天途经乌干达主要机场。
Health officials are now investigating whether she may have crossed paths with a Kenyan man who died from Ebola and had travelled through Uganda's main airport on the same day.
非洲疾病预防控制中心（非洲疾控中心）周四表示，调查人员正在检查他们是否可能通过共用设备或其他接触而暴露于病毒。
Investigators are examining whether they could have been exposed through shared equipment or other contact, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) said on Thursday.
该机构应急准备和响应负责人韦萨姆·曼库拉博士表示，这是“可能的情形之一”，但强调尚未确立关联。
Dr Wessam Mankoula, the agency's head of emergency preparedness and response, said this was "one of the possible scenarios", but stressed that no link had been established.
这名肯尼亚男子从刚果民主共和国出发，途经乌干达，于10月3日抵达内罗毕。他随后不久去世，成为肯尼亚首例记录在案的埃博拉死亡病例。此后，肯尼亚又确诊了另外八例埃博拉病例。
The Kenyan man had travelled from DR Congo through Uganda before arriving in Nairobi on 3 October. He died shortly afterwards, becoming Kenya's first recorded Ebola death. Kenya has since confirmed eight other cases of Ebola.
世界卫生组织表示，目前为时过早，无法确定这名尼日利亚女子是在何处感染的。
The WHO said it was too early to determine where the woman in Nigeria became infected. "The source of exposure is still not known.
“暴露源仍不清楚。患者的旅行史仍在拼凑中，”世界卫生组织应急响应官员帕特里克·奥蒂姆博士说。
The travel history of the patient is still being pieced together," said Dr Patrick Otim, a WHO emergency response official.
他表示，由于在她住院期间采访她的机会有限，调查人员难以获得其行踪的完整情况。
He said investigators had struggled to obtain a complete account of her movements because opportunities to interview her were limited while she remained in hospital.
尼日利亚疾病预防控制中心（尼日利亚疾控中心）表示，正在进行基因组测序，这有助于确定她的感染是否与其他病例有关。不过，已确认她感染的是邦迪布焦种埃博拉病毒，这与刚果民主共和国暴发疫情的病毒种类相同。
Nigeria's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) said it was carrying out genomic sequencing, which could help establish whether her infection is linked to other cases. However, it has been confirmed that she has the Bundibugyo species of Ebola, the same one which has caused the outbreak in DR Congo.
“调查正在重建完整的旅行和暴露史。基因组测序被列为高度优先事项，”世界卫生组织驻尼日利亚代表帕维尔·乌尔苏博士说。
"The investigation is reconstructing the full travel and exposure history. Genomic sequencing is given a high priority," said Dr Pavel Ursu, the WHO's representative in Nigeria.
乌干达卫生官员此前曾表示，这名女子曾前往刚果民主共和国东部从事商务活动。
Ugandan health officials previously said the woman had travelled to eastern DR Congo for business.
然而，世界卫生组织、非洲疾控中心和尼日利亚卫生部表示，他们尚未收到证实她曾到访该国的核实信息。
However, the WHO, Africa CDC and Nigeria's health ministry said they had not received verified information confirming that she had visited the country.
乌干达坚持表示，该国没有确诊的活跃埃博拉病例，并称这名女子途经该国并不一定意味着她是在乌干达感染了该病毒。
Uganda has maintained that it has no confirmed active Ebola cases and says the woman's travel through the country does not necessarily mean she contracted the virus there.
与此同时，尼日利亚当局正在追踪更多可能与该女子有过接触的人，范围超出最初确认的44名接触者。
Meanwhile, Nigerian authorities are tracing more people who may have been exposed to the woman, beyond the 44 contacts initially identified.
肯尼亚卫生总干事帕特里克·阿莫斯博士表示，所有9例确诊病例都与首例患者有关，没有证据表明存在更广泛的社区传播。
Kenya's Health Director-General Dr Patrick Amoth said all nine confirmed infections were linked to the first patient, with no evidence of wider community transmission.
他敦促公众保持警惕、不要恐慌，但同时警告：“我们尚未脱离险境”。他说，其余8名幸存患者仍在隔离中，对治疗反应良好。
He urged the public to remain vigilant and not panic but warned: "We are not out of the woods". He said the surviving eight patients were still in isolation and responding well to treatment.
这些事态发展再次引发人们对感染者跨越国际边境流动的担忧，尤其是在刚果民主共和国与邻国乌干达之间，每天有数千人跨境从事贸易、工作和探亲。
The developments have renewed concerns about the movement of infected people across international borders, particularly between DR Congo and neighbouring Uganda, where thousands cross daily for trade, work and family visits.
奥蒂姆博士警告说，两国之间漫长而漏洞百出的边境使得对每个出入境人员进行筛查十分困难，因为许多人使用非官方过境点。
Dr Otim warned that the long and porous border between the two countries made it difficult to screen everyone entering or leaving, as many people used unofficial crossing points.
世卫组织非洲区域主任穆罕默德·贾纳比博士呼吁“区域警惕”，并敦促各国加强监测、调查感染情况并保护一线卫生工作者。
The WHO's regional director for Africa, Dr Mohamed Janabi, called for "regional vigilance" and urged countries to strengthen surveillance, investigate infections and protect frontline health workers.
埃博拉是一种严重的病毒性疾病，通过直接接触感染者的血液或其他体液，或接触受污染的物体传播。它不会像流感那样通过空气传播。
Ebola is a serious viral disease that spreads through direct contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person, or with contaminated objects. It does not spread through the air like flu.
该病毒可引发发热、严重乏力、呕吐和腹泻，并可能致命。人们在出现症状之前不被视为具有传染性。
The virus can cause fever, severe weakness, vomiting and diarrhoea, and can be fatal. People are not considered infectious before they develop symptoms.
卫生当局表示，快速追踪接触者、隔离疑似病例和提供早期治疗对于防止进一步传播至关重要。更多非洲大陆新闻请访问。
