Uganda faces deadly Ebola outbreak
Doctors walk inside the Ebola isolation section of Mubende Regional Referral Hospital, in Mubende, Uganda, Sept. 29, 2022. In this remote Ugandan community facing its first Ebola outbreak, testing trouble has added to the challenges with symptoms of the Sudan strain of Ebola now circulating being similar to malaria, underscoring the pitfalls health workers face in their response.

Also, Australia has earned the dubious distinction of being the “mammal extinction capital of the world.” But now, the Australian government says it’s determined to give wildlife a better chance.
