Ongoing Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in May 2026, anchor trader sentiment for the 2026 case markets. The Bundibugyo virus strain has driven thousands of confirmed cases and deaths primarily in DRC's Ituri and neighboring provinces, with limited spillover yielding 20 cases in Uganda before containment. This regional focus, combined with cross-border risks into areas like South Sudan, shapes implied probabilities, while contained international spread to one reported case in France underscores barriers to wider dissemination. Upcoming surveillance updates from WHO and national ministries, alongside any new clusters before year-end, remain key swing factors for multi-country outcomes amid fluctuating transmission dynamics.

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.
