The discovery of two Ebola cases in Kenya five months after the fastest-growing outbreak in history was declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has exposed severe weaknesses in virus tracking efforts, experts say.
A 40-year-old Kenyan man who had been living in the DRC and had felt unwell for a month travelled by road to Kampala, Uganda, and then flew on to Nairobi, Kenya. There he was diagnosed with Ebola and died on 5 October.
