Health: Al Jazeera, 'Congo disease could be zoonotic in origin'

December 13, 2024

Kinshasa, Dec. 13 (Adnkronos) – The mysterious disease circulating in the Democratic Republic of Congo could be zoonotic in origin. A health expert from the African country told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity. Although national and global health bodies have not announced any link with animals, the expert said that “most of the people I have personally interviewed admit to having been in contact with some wild animals a few days before getting sick”. To be safe, he added, people should be advised to reduce contact with wild animals.
