INTRODUCTION
A new deadly disease outbreak has emerged in the Democratic Republic of Congo raising global health concerns The illness which has already claimed over sixty lives is spreading rapidly and is believed to be linked to bats This mysterious disease presents severe symptoms such as uncontrolled bleeding vomiting and diarrhea making it a serious threat to public health
SYMPTOMS AND TRANSMISSION
Medical experts report that the symptoms of this disease resemble those of viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola and Marburg The infected individuals experience sudden fever severe headaches abdominal pain and extreme fatigue This progresses into internal and external bleeding leading to a high fatality rate
Scientists suspect that the disease is zoonotic meaning it is transmitted from animals to humans Research indicates that bats may be the primary carriers of the virus which could be spreading through direct contact with bat saliva urine or feces as well as through contaminated food and water sources
WHY THE WORLD SHOULD BE CONCERNED

B) Increased human wildlife interaction leading to higher chances of virus transmission
C) Slow response due to limited medical research on new diseases
