尼日利亚在东北部发现两例疑似埃博拉病例,此前该国于10月20日宣布十多年来首例确诊病例。

Nigeria has identified two suspected Ebola cases in the northeast, after the country declared its first case in more than a decade on October 20.

尼日利亚卫生当局正在调查,两名患者已被隔离,密切接触者追踪和实验室检测已展开。

Nigerian health authorities are investigating, and the two individuals have been isolated while contact tracing and laboratory testing get under way.

尼日利亚疾病控制与预防中心周六在X平台发布声明称:“在尼日利亚东北部地区发现两例疑似埃博拉病例。”

“Two suspected cases of Ebola disease have been identified in Nigeria’s northeast region,” the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement posted on X on Saturday.

声明补充道:“两名患者均已隔离,密切接触者识别和登记正在进行中,实验室检测正在开展。被列为疑似病例并不意味着确诊为埃博拉;确诊须以实验室结果为准。”

“Both individuals have been isolated, contact identification and listing is ongoing, and laboratory testing is being conducted. “Being classified as suspected cases does not mean they are confirmed Ebola cases; confirmation is subject to laboratory results,” it added.

上周,尼日利亚因报告一例输入性病例,成为第五个受邦迪布焦毒株埃博拉影响的国家。

Last week, Nigeria became the fifth country to be affected by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola after an imported case was reported.

一名从乌干达前往尼日利亚的瑞士女性检测呈阳性。她和丈夫——一名瑞士外交官——于周一被撤离至瑞士。目前的疫情于5月在刚果民主共和国(DRC)出现。

A Swiss woman who had travelled to Nigeria from Uganda tested positive for the virus. She and her husband, a Swiss diplomat, were evacuated to Switzerland on Monday. The current outbreak emerged in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in May.

自那时起,邦迪布焦毒株已在刚果民主共和国造成5000多人死亡。

The Bundibugyo strain has killed more than 5,000 people in the DRC since then.

这是刚果民主共和国历史上规模最大的疫情,波及该国26个省中的8个,报告确诊病例超过10300例。

The outbreak is the largest in the DRC’s history, affecting eight of the country’s 26 provinces and with more than 10,300 confirmed cases reported.

目前尚无针对该毒株埃博拉的获批治疗方法或疫苗,但疫苗试验正在进行中。

There is currently no approved treatment or vaccine for this strain of Ebola, but vaccine trials are under way.

非洲疾病控制与预防中心(非洲CDC)周五呼吁采取更有力措施保护一线工作人员,此前本周早些时候,刚果民主共和国北基伍省和伊图里省有两名年轻刚果医生死于埃博拉。

The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) on Friday called for stronger measures to protect front-line workers after two young Congolese doctors died from Ebola earlier this week in DRC’s North Kivu and Ituri provinces.

据卫生当局称,早期检测和接触者追踪的持续薄弱环节是阻断刚果民主共和国当前埃博拉传播的主要障碍之一。

Persistent weaknesses in early detection and contact tracing are among the main obstacles to stopping the current Ebola transmission in the DRC, according to health authorities.

刚果(金)当局表示,该国确诊病例中,仅约 12% 此前已被确认为已知接触者,许多死亡病例发生在社区中。

Only about 12 percent of confirmed cases in the DRC have been identified among previously known contacts, with many deaths occurring in communities, authorities said.

自 5 月以来,刚果(金)、乌干达、法国、肯尼亚以及最近的尼日利亚均报告了邦迪布焦病毒病例。

Since May, Bundibugyo cases have been reported in the DRC, Uganda, France, Kenya and most recently, Nigeria.
