Three people with suspected Ebola were Monday admitted to hospital in western Uganda, where the virus has killed 18 people and is spreading from village to village, government officials said.
"Three cases were admitted today, bringing the total to 64," said Samuel Kazinga, the district commissioner for Bundibugyo, the epicentre of the new outbreak

The World Health Organisation said the new outbreak was a previously unknown strain that provokes high fever before killing its victims without much blood haemorrhage.
This is unlike the known Ebola subtypes, which rupture blood vessels, killing their patients in shock after non-stop bleeding through body orifices, doctors said.
