LONDON, June 10 - Three laboratories in Democratic Republic of Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, the World Health Organization said, as the outbreak of the dangerous Bundibugyo species of the virus continues to grow.

Testing for the Ebola virus has been halted in three laboratories across the Democratic Republic of Congo due to a lack of necessary supplies. The World Health Organization confirmed the shortages, which come as the outbreak of the Bundibugyo species of the virus continues to spread. This interruption in diagnostic capacity could significantly hamper efforts to track and contain the ongoing epidemic.

The inability to test for Ebola impedes crucial contact tracing and treatment, potentially allowing the dangerous virus to spread further unchecked.
