Ebola infections are slowing in parts of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo four months into the outbreak, but cases are climbing fast in North Kivu and the World Health Organization (WHO) says it is too early to declare that the epidemic has peaked.
Since the outbreak was officially declared on 15 May, 7,258 cases have been confirmed, including 3,510 deaths, while 1,726 people have recovered. The virus has now reached seven provinces.
