A deadly outbreak of Ebola in south eastern Congo Killed more than 160 people in Congo since late August, according to The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nearly 400 have been infected, officials said Monday.

Health Minister Makwenge Kaput said on national television the virus is the Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and Mweka and Luebo are the two most affected areas

As the death toll in northwestern Angola rises to 180, The World Health Organization continues their investigation of the hemorrhagic fever outbreak plaguing the area and Angolans at risk begin lash out on health workers. As of Thursday, 205 cases of the Marburg hemorrhagic fever have been reported, 180 of which have died. The Zaire province is the most recent of the seven reportedly seeing an outbreak amongst residents. The virus is in the same family as the Ebola virus and spreads through blood and body fluid contact, making it very dangerous and lethal in human beings. In this case -- only the second natural outbreak of the virus -- there is evidence it has been amplified through ineffective containment in hospitals. The WHO reported that the first large outbreak under natural conditions of this kind was in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1998-2000. Mobile surveillance teams in Uige were forced to suspend operations Thursday when vehicles were attacked and damaged by residents. In addition, organization staff in Uige were notified Friday of several workers' fatalities, but teams were unable to investigate the causes of death or collect the bodies for burial. A WHO worker in Angola reported that health workers had been killed by residents who believed the workers were exposing them to the virus. The WHO is currently discussing ways "to find urgent solutions" with authorities in Angola. The WHO launched an appeal Friday for $2.4 million to support emergency response to the outbreak. They have also established an international network of laboratories to help in the investigation of this and other viral hemorrhagic fevers. They include two portable field laboratories in Angola. The major goal of the WHO is to determine where the Marburg virus hides in nature between outbreaks. Current studies of the virus in Angola offers vital clues
