The higher case fatality rate was associated with Yambuku, 88%. Since that time other large-scale outbreaks have occurred: 1995, Democratic Republic of the Congo(315 cases, mortality 81%); 2000-2001, Uganda (425 cases, mortality 53%); 2003, Democratic Republic of the Congo(143 cases, mortality 89%; and 2007-2008, Democratic Republic of the Congo(149 cases, mortality 25%).
