A conversation with Dr. Daniel Lucey comparing and contrasting the current Ebola epidemic in the North Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the 2014 West Africa Ebola epidemic. We touch on advances made in vaccines, diagnostics, treatments, and how the lessons learned from the West Africa epidemic are being applied, as well as the challenges faced by a region in conflict.
