This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a confirmed case of Ebola in the territory of the specified country reported between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any active laboratory-confirmed, or otherwise officially confirmed, Ebola infection identified within the territory of the specified country will qualify, regardless of where exposure, symptom onset, or testing occurred. The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the relevant national and international health authorities; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting will also suffice.The ongoing Bundibugyo virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, declared a public health emergency in May 2026, dominates trader focus for 2026 Ebola cases. It has rapidly expanded to over 5,500 confirmed cases and 2,600 deaths across six provinces by late August, outpacing the 2018–2020 DRC record and becoming the country's deadliest on record. Transmission challenges include active conflict zones, healthcare worker strikes, community resistance, and the absence of approved vaccines or treatments for this strain. Imported cases reached Uganda (20 total, outbreak declared over by July) and France (one case), while neighboring countries face high spillover risk due to porous borders and displacement. Response efforts, including contact tracing and treatment centers, continue amid exponential growth, with traders monitoring weekly case spikes and any new cross-border detections before year-end.
