TRT World interview with Dr. Derek Gatherer, from the Biomedical and Life Sciences department at Lancaster University.
The World Health Organization says the Ebola outbreak,, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,, now poses a 'very high' risk to public health. The WHO also raised the regional risk from moderate to high.
The virus has now reached Ben-daka,, a city of around one-MILLION people. That has increased concerns that Ebola could reach the capital Kinshasa,, and neighbouring countries.
Doctors Without Borders,, has sent more than 20 tons of Ebola kits to the DRC,, to prevent the spread of the disease that has killed at least 25 people since April.
