Pandemics and BiosecurityBackground
Nia-Nia is a health zone in Ituri Province, DR Congo, the province recording the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak's heaviest caseload: 28 of 140 affected health zones nationally and 2,988 cases as of the 27 July 2026 situation report.
Africa CDC named Nia-Nia one of two emerging hotspots that week, alongside Nizi. Its ensemble models projected a further 342 to 431 cases across the outbreak within seven days, with the reproduction number still above one. Together with Nizi, it illustrates how the Bundibugyo outbreak is now following displacement patterns as much as geography, concentrating in places where conflict has already uprooted people once.
