On 17 July 2019, the Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization. Relevant research published from 2013 onwards in BMC and SpringerOpen journals is collected here for the convenience of researchers and healthcare workers.
We have also collected more Ebola-related articles and books from across Springer Nature here.
