When Furaha Tikamanyire began feeling ill on April 26, she did not imagine she had contracted Ebola. For weeks, this nurse at the Bunia Evangelical Medical Center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) had cared for dozens of people arriving from the Mongbwalu region, about 75 kilometers away, where the virus had begun spreading before it was identified.
