  • ...@Ozzie10aaaa:...Copyvio issues due to names of organisations mainly. No image, article is thoroughly referenced. Some press releases could be replaced with other emerging sources.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 11 outbreaks have been recorded since the first recognized outbreak in 1976. The 10th EVD outbreak in North Kivu, Ituri and South Kivu Provinces was the country's longest EVD outbreak and the second largest in the world after the 2014–2016 EVD outbreak in West Africa.[1] Or maybe a hook to show that it was the 10th outbreak since 1976. I don't think many people know that there have been so many. Great work on this, well done. I think this is your first dyk nom., so just say if need help. I did a bit of editing...please check it.

Random check of citations okay. I tweaked the proposed hook to clarify ebola not all outbreaks. Added a trimmed version of ALT1. All hooks check out...Proposed hook or ALT1a, which defines EVD are better. Thank you @Ozzie10aaaa:. In case you have more thoughts...I came across the role of vaccines in ending the outbreak [3].
