An American humanitarian worker in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola amid a large and rapidly growing outbreak. The World Health Organization warns the real number of cases may be much higher than official reports due to difficulties tracking the virus in the region.
