AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Democratic Republic of Congo's record‑setting Ebola outbreak may have started months earlier than the official May declaration, indicating a delayed detection. This suggests that the epidemic could have gone unnoticed for a significant period.
WHY IT MATTERS
The delayed recognition of the outbreak could have allowed the virus to spread more widely before containment measures were implemented.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak on record in the Democratic Republic of Congo may have begun months before it was declared in May.
