Podcasts about Ebola

In this PodcastDX episode, Lita and Jean Marie unpack Ebola as a severe but not casually spread viral disease, explaining that infection requires direct contact with blood or other body fluids or contaminated materials, not simple proximity or everyday social contact. They outline key facts about animal reservoirs (likely bats), how spillover into humans occurs, and why understanding zoonotic origins helps shape outbreak prevention in affected regions. The conversation walks listeners through typical Ebola symptoms, the incubation period, and why early recognition and intensive supportive care—fluids, electrolytes, careful monitoring—can be lifesaving despite the virus's high average case‑fatality rate. The hosts discuss recent outbreaks in Central Africa, how tools like surveillance, contact tracing, safe burials, isolation, infection‑control practices, and targeted vaccination work together, and they debunk common myths about airborne spread or presymptomatic transmission. Lita and Jean Marie also explain that available vaccines and monoclonal antibody treatments apply mainly to the Zaire species, making strain identification crucial, and highlight why survivors need long‑term medical and emotional support. Throughout the episode they emphasize community education, stigma reduction, and practical prevention—especially for families, healthcare workers, and travelers—showing that while Ebola is dangerous, accurate information and coordinated public health action can contain outbreaks and replace fear with wise, compassionate response.

Ebola is ravaging the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in what may soon become the worst outbreak of the disease ever recorded. This particularly deadly strain is spreading amid a weakened global-health infrastructure, including the Trump administration's cuts to USAID.    --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Tom Jones shares firsthand insights from a career spanning the height of the Cold War through modern NATO nuclear operations. Drawing on decades of operational experience, he discusses the realities of nuclear deterrence, the challenges of maintaining credible readiness, and the extraordinary demands placed on aircrews tasked with executing nuclear missions under the most extreme conditions.Lt. Gen. Jones explores the evolution of NATO's nuclear posture, the complexity of nuclear weapon delivery, and the importance of survivability, command and control, and alliance cohesion. He also reflects on how changing political dynamics, public opinion in Europe, and renewed great-power competition have reshaped the deterrence landscape. From Cold War certainties to today's escalating risks, he offers a candid assessment of the future of nuclear deterrence and the joint force capabilities required to sustain it.Lt. Gen. Noel T. “Tom” Jones (USAF Ret.) retired in 2015 as Vice Commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa, where he helped lead more than 24,000 personnel across Europe and Africa during major events including the Benghazi attack, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the Ebola crisis. He also led the command's response to sequestration-driven force reductions while maintaining mission readiness.A 1980 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Tom served more than 35 years on active duty, commanding at the squadron, group, and wing levels, including combat leadership during Operation Iraqi Freedom. His assignments included leading the Air Force's largest fighter wing at Luke AFB, serving as Deputy Director of the Central Security Service supporting NSA operations, helping stand up U.S. Cyber Command, directing plans for the U.S. military drawdown in Iraq, and overseeing Air Force modernization requirements at the Pentagon.Since retiring, Tom has advised defense industry organizations through Tom Jones Consulting, served as a Highly Qualified Expert-Senior Mentor for the U.S. Air Force, and remains active in public service in Louisiana.Follow us on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@nuclecast3665?si=h1kCO6NqUtL87w6qFollow on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/nuclecastpodcastSubscribe RSS Feed: https://rss.com/podcasts/nuclecast-podcast/Rate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nuclecast/id1644921278Email comments and topic/guest suggestions to Kimberly@anwadeter.org

THE WORST outbreak of Ebola in history is underway in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many will respond to that news with skepticism given the way we were propagandized during the COVID outbreak five years ago. But facts are facts: Nearly 1600 people have died thus far in the outbreak and it's spreading much faster than the 2014 outbreak in West Africa. The infection fatality rate is upwards of 40%. By comparison, COVID only had an IFR of about 0.2%. In addition, this particular strain of Ebola has an incubation period of up to three weeks. That means somebody who appears to be well could conceivably travel on an international flight and bring the virus to another continent. So, fear mongering in this case is probably justified. Speaking of fear, a robotics company called Satyress has announced a new robot that looks like a giant metallic praying mantis with the head of a goat. It is ostensibly intended for jobs too dangerous for humans, like search and rescue missions after a natural disaster. However, it looks like Baphomet with an extra set of legs. That begs the question: What in the world were the designers thinking? We also discuss the invasion of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by 60,000 military age men from Morocco. This is a very bad look for the pro-immigration leaders of the European Union and progressive Democrats here in the United States. Video from Ceuta showing young Moroccan men looting stores, breaking into homes, and attacking Spanish citizens is like something from a horror film. Also: Mayor Mamdani promises his city-run grocery stores will sell groceries at 30% below average cost elsewhere. That math don't math.

This summer has been anything but quiet for infectious diseases. In this episode of Contagion Podcast, hosts Drs. Vivian Vega and Jackie Sherbuk take listeners on a fast-paced tour through the outbreaks, emerging threats, and public health stories that have dominated conversations among infectious disease specialists—and increasingly, the general public.The episode begins with the nationwide Cyclospora outbreak, examining why this foodborne parasite has become one of the summer's biggest public health stories. The hosts explain how contaminated produce, long incubation periods, and complex food distribution networks make outbreak investigations particularly challenging, while providing practical advice on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.Next, they explore the remarkable Andes hantavirus outbreak linked to an expedition cruise in Patagonia. This unusual event highlights the only hantavirus known to spread from person to person and serves as a fascinating case study in how ecotourism, international travel, and delayed symptom onset can complicate outbreak investigations across multiple countries.The conversation then shifts to one of the most extraordinary success stories in public health: the battle against the New World screwworm. Listeners will discover how millions of sterile flies have been used to eradicate one of history's most destructive livestock pests—and why climate change, wildlife movement, and border challenges now threaten decades of success.The hosts also review the ongoing Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York City, discussing how modern environmental surveillance, rapid public health response, and laboratory testing work together to control urban outbreaks before they expand further.Attention then turns to the rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the rare Bundibugyo strain presents new challenges because currently available vaccines and therapies are not proven to work against it. The discussion highlights the importance of surveillance, contact tracing, community trust, and ongoing clinical trials in outbreak response.Finally, the episode examines how public health agencies prepared for infectious disease threats during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, from measles and respiratory viruses to wastewater surveillance, social media monitoring, and behind-the-scenes coordination that helps keep millions of travelers safe.Blending humor, clinical insight, and real-world epidemiology, this episode offers an engaging look at the infectious disease stories shaping the summer of 2026. Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, or simply curious about emerging health threats, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the science, surveillance, and public health efforts that work quietly behind the scenes to protect us all.Dr. Vega would like to thank her friend Job Meiller for his musical contributions, "Hotel California," and "Can't Get You Out of My Mind," to our segment breaks.

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya, katika Kijiji cha Embulbul kilichoko Kaunti ya Kajiado, ambako Shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Tulivu Safe Haven, lililoanzishwa kwa kushirikiana na wadau wakiwemo mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, linatekeleza hatua mbalimbali za kuwasaidia wanawake. Hii ni pamoja na kuwaokoa na kuwahifadhi manusura wa ukatili wa kijinsia kwa kuwapatia makazi salama, ushauri nasaha, msaada wa kisheria na uwezeshaji wa kiuchumi, sambamba na kuwarejesha shuleni wasichana walionusurika. Je, nini kinafanyika? Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na Redio washirika wetu Domus, Feissal Kirwa amefuatilia simulizi za manusura na kutuandalia makala hii. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Maabara tembezi ya kupima virusi vya Ebola imewekwa katika mji wa mpakani wa Kasenyi ulioko kati ya Uganda na Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambako kuna hatari kubwa ya kushamiri kwa mlipuko wa Ebola kutokana na harakati nyingi za safari. Dkt. Olga Ntumba kutoka WHO ambayo inafadhili maabara hiyo inayotoa majibu ndani ya saa moja, amesema “virusi haviheshimu mipaka. Maabara hii ina mchango muhimu kubaini mapema wagonjwa, kuimarisha ufuatiliaji wa ugonjwa, kubadilishana taarifa na juhudi za mwitikio kwenye ukanda mzima.”Mioto ya nyika ikiendelea kutikisa maeneo ya kaskazini mwa dunia shirika la Umoja wa Matiafa la Afya duniani, WHO limekumbusha kuwa moshi utokanao na mioto hiyo ya nyika huvuka taifa, kanda na hata mabara na kuwa na madhara kwa watu hata wanaoishi mbali na moto wenyewe. Hivyo limetangaza mambo tisa ya kuzingatiwa ikiwemo kusikiliza taarifa za mamlaka kama vile viwango vya uchafuzi wa hewa, kuvaa barakoa na kusalia ndani ya nyumba na kufunga madirisha iwapo hujashauriwa kuhama.Na wiki ya kimataifa ya unyonyeshaji watoto maziwa ya mama ikianza kesho Agosti Mosi, Umoja wa Mataifa kupitia mashirika yake, lile la afya, (WHO) na la kuhudumia watoto, (UNICEF) umetaka nchi kuimarisha mifumo ya afya ili iweze kupatia akina mama na watoto wachanga msaada wa kufanikisha unyonyeshaji bora ambao ni msingi wa ukuaji bora wa mtoto na afya ya mama anayenyonyesha. Halikadhalika utekelezaji wa kanuni ya kimataifa kuhusu matangazo ya bidhaa za mbadala wa maziwa ya mama.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kyanda, karibu!

En République démocratique du Congo, l'épidémie d'Ebola s'accélère à un rythme alarmant. En deux mois et demi, plus de 3.200 personnes ont été infectées, plus de 1.400 sont mortes et près de 580 ont guéri. Le nombre de cas double désormais tous les vingt jours.« L'épidémie d'Ebola progresse plus rapidement que notre réponse, et l'écart entre les deux continue de se creuser », alerte Julien Harneis, Coordonnateur principal des Nations Unies pour la riposte à Ebola.Dans cet extrait sonore, il décrit une riposte portée par une mobilisation collective exceptionnelle réunissant les autorités congolaises, les Nations Unies, les organisations humanitaires, les soignants, les volontaires et les communautés locales.Mais, prévient-il, cet engagement ne suffit plus à contenir un virus « impitoyable » qui continue de gagner du terrain. Il lance un appel à un sursaut de solidarité internationale. Propos recueillis par Priscilla Lecomte d'OCHA pour ONU Info.

When to Quarantine: Criteria, Cases & Containment Strategies Grand Rounds Video Episode link for CME credit coming soon! Host Holly Wayment brings you Grand Rounds: Dr. Ted C. Slack, a retired U.S. Army pediatric infectious disease physician and biosecurity expert, reviews the history and practice of quarantine, isolation, and biocontainment — covering BSL laboratory levels, the evolution from military to civilian containment units, transport isolation, criteria for admission, real activations (Ebola, early COVID-19 repatriations, Andes virus), and key legal, ethical, and pediatric considerations for managing highly hazardous communicable diseases.

Cyclospora cases continue to climb in the U.S. but this isn't the first time we've had a multi-state outbreak linked to produce. Back in 1996, there was a major cyclospora outbreak across several states due to imported raspberries. It begs the question, have we learned anything from the past? Or are we repeating history all over again? This week hosts Chris Dall and Dr. Michael Osterholm focus on the cyclosporiasis outbreak, from the latest numbers, to how state and federal officials, as well as the media, have handled it all. They'll break down the latest epidemiologic data and discuss how this response compares to a multi-state outbreak in 1996. Dr. Osterholm also talks about the latest on Ebola in the DRC, the measles outbreaks across the U.S. and a potential uptick in COVID-19 cases.   Links:An Outbreak in 1996 of Cyclosporiasis Associated with Imported Raspberries (The New England Journal of Medicine) When People Got Sick: Cyclospora Outbreak, July 2026 (CDC) The Cyclospora outbreak was, and still is, a communications failure (CIDRAP)  Resources for vaccine and public health advocacy: Voices for Vaccines Families Fighting Flu Vaccinate Your Family Shot@Life Medical Reserve Corps Learn more about the Vaccine Integrity Project MORE EPISODES       SUPPORT THIS PODCAST   Music: "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Mlipuko wa sasa wa ebola ya virusi vya Bundibugyo uliotangazwa rasmi huko DRC mwezi Mei mwaka huu unazidi kuongezeka kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida, wamesema maafisa waandamizi wa Umoja wa Mataifa wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari Karl Skau, Kaimu Mkuu wa WFP, na ndio tunakupeleka nchini humo kufuatilia juhudi za kuudhibiti.Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema ni wakati wa dunia kuungana kukabiliana na biashara haramu ya usafirishaji wa watu, hususan aina mpya inayokua kwa kasi ya kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli kwa njia ya mtandao. Katika ujumbe wake wa kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kupambana na Biashara Haramu ya Usafirishaji wa Watu inayoadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe thelathini Julai, amesema wahalifu wanawavutia watu kwa ahadi za ajira nzuri, lakini baadaye wanawafanya mateka na kuwalazimisha kuendesha utapeli mtandaoni. Guterres amezitaka nchi kuridhia Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kupambana na Uhalifu wa Mtandao uliopitishwa mwaka 2024, kushirikiana kuvunja mitandao ya uhalifu na kuwasaidia manusura kurejea katika maisha yao ya kawaida.Nchini Ukraine, mashambulizi makubwa ya usiku yaliyojumuisha makombora na mamia ya ndege zisizo na rubani yamesababisha vifo na majeruhi katika maeneo kadhaa ya makazi, yakiwemo miji ya Kryvyi Rih, Kyiv na Lviv. Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kuratibu Masuala ya Kibinadamu, OCHA, imesema nyumba na shule za awali zimeharibiwa huku watoto wakiwa miongoni mwa waliouawa na kujeruhiwa. Kwa upande wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto, UNICEF, limesema watoto watatu wameuawa na wengine kadhaa kujeruhiwa, huku likiendelea kutoa msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia na usaidizi wa kifedha kwa familia zilizoathirika.Na Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, amelaani hatua za serikali ya Uganda zinazodaiwa kuendelea kubana uhuru wa msingi na kuzima sauti za wanaokosoa serikali. Amesema tangu uchaguzi mkuu wa Januari mwaka huu, viongozi wa upinzani, wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu na waandishi wa habari wamekumbwa na vitendo vya kutoweshwa, kukamatwa kiholela na mateso. Kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa leo na ofisi ya Bwana Türk ni kwamba ofisi hiyo imepokea taarifa zinazoonesha kuongezeka kwa ushiriki wa jeshi katika kutekeleza majukumu ambayo kwa kawaida hufanywa na taasisi za kiraia. Aidha, baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vimelazimika kusitisha shughuli zake kwa muda.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, na leo tunamkaribisha Ntahombaye Hussein, Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wanahabari wa Kiswahili nchini Burundi, CHAWARUNDI.

How did the Ebola outbreak impact Maine in 2014, and what lessons did we learn from it

Epidemia mais rápida já registrada teve mais de 3,4 mil infectados pela estirpe bundibugyo; até 2,6 milhões de pessoas em risco de fome severa; peritos da OMS e do WFP falam de corrida contra o tempo no país africano.

Die Verenigde Nasies waarsku dat Ebola vinnig versprei in die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo, met gevalle wat elke 20 dae verdubbel. Die aantal gevalle het tot 3 200 gestyg, waaronder minstens 1 405 sterftes. Die uitbreking word veroorsaak deur 'n stam waarvoor daar geen goedgekeurde entstof of behandeling is nie. Die VN se senior koördineerder vir Ebola, Julien Harneis, sê die pogings om die uitbreking te bestry, skiet ver tekort:

Today's episode is a special bonus from the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse hosted by Kristy Graham. What does it look like to trust God when He calls you into some of the world's most difficult and dangerous places? In this powerful episode, Kristy experiences firsthand what Samaritan's Purse Disaster Assistance Response Team members endure as they prepare to serve during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bev Kauffeldt, who has served on the last two Ebola responses, led Kristy through the training. Kristy got into the many layers of personal protection equipment to experience the process our DART members go through in the field. This inspired Kristy as she experienced the discomfort our teams willingly step into as they fight this dangerous outbreak. It also helped her know how to pray for our teams more specifically. At the training, Bev talked with Kristy about a passage of Scripture that has been on her heart: “This verse—I shared it with the team today because it's so perfect. In Acts 20:24, Paul says my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others of the good news about the wonderful grace of God.” — Bev Kauffeldt, paraphrasing Acts 20:24 As believers, we must have a posture of humility. Someone who speaks into this posture in this Ebola response is Dustin Martin, a water, sanitation and hygiene technical advisor who supports Samaritan's Purse field offices around the world. Dustin will likely go to the DRC soon. He shared how he is preparing both physically and spiritually to be deployed and why he desires to go serve in this dangerous situation. “I want to be able to go to the ends of the earth for people that I haven't even met before because that's what Christ did for me. He took on humility. He took on human form when He had no need to. And if He did that for me, there's just no appropriate response but to do that for others.” — Dustin Martin Once Kristy was out of the personal protective equipment, she met Kate Allen, an emergency doctor, who the Lord has called and sent to many DART responses, including Ukraine and Iraq. They spoke about putting on the armor of God, trusting that the Lord goes before us. We are not promised safety, but God does promise that He is with us always. “God doesn't say you're going to be absolutely fine … but He does promise that He goes with us. And He promises that He goes ahead. And He promises He hems us in from behind. So, we go with His Spirit, and we go knowing that He has a plan, and that He has already paid the ultimate price.” — Kate Allen If you'd like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse, please visit SamaritansPurse.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What if the person with no superpowers, in a world where everyone else has one, turns out to be the most important character in the room? Michael Solis joins Fitz at ROC Vox to talk about Deficient, his YA sci-fi novel set in a near future where super-powered people are the majority and one 15-year-old boy is the last kind of outcast anyone saw coming. The conversation moves well beyond the book: Michael's coming out story, Fitz's experience raising a trans son, what it takes to get your book rights back and build your own press from scratch, and what 20 years responding to Ebola outbreaks and floods in West Africa has to do with writing fiction.In this episode, Michael walks through the ability hierarchy he built for the novel and why he made it as brutal as he did, the personal experiences woven into the characters without ever appearing by name in the text, what happens when the only person who responded right to a coming out said just three words, and why he walked away from humanitarian work and moved to Rochester to run Writers and Books and release his books on his own terms. CONNECTMichael Solis: https://michaelsolisauthor.comWriters and Books: https://wab.orgROC Vox: https://rocvox.comSalvatore's: https://salvatores.comNew episodes every Tuesday.Recorded at ROC Vox in Bushnell's Basin, NY.

Today's episode is a special bonus from the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse podcast, hosted by Kristy Graham. What does it look like to trust God when He calls you into some of the world's most difficult and dangerous places? In this powerful episode, Kristy experiences firsthand what Samaritan's Purse Disaster Assistance Response Team members endure as they prepare to serve during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bev Kauffeldt, who has served on the last two Ebola responses, led Kristy through the training. Kristy got into the many layers of personal protection equipment to experience the process our DART members go through in the field. This inspired Kristy as she experienced the discomfort our teams willingly step into as they fight this dangerous outbreak. It also helped her know how to pray for our teams more specifically. At the training, Bev talked with Kristy about a passage of Scripture that has been on her heart: “This verse—I shared it with the team today because it's so perfect. In Acts 20:24, Paul says my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others of the good news about the wonderful grace of God.” — Bev Kauffeldt, paraphrasing Acts 20:24 As believers, we must have a posture of humility. Someone who speaks into this posture in this Ebola response is Dustin Martin, a water, sanitation and hygiene technical advisor who supports Samaritan's Purse field offices around the world. Dustin will likely go to the DRC soon. He shared how he is preparing both physically and spiritually to be deployed and why he desires to go serve in this dangerous situation. “I want to be able to go to the ends of the earth for people that I haven't even met before because that's what Christ did for me. He took on humility. He took on human form when He had no need to. And if He did that for me, there's just no appropriate response but to do that for others.” — Dustin Martin Once Kristy was out of the personal protective equipment, she met Kate Allen, an emergency doctor, who the Lord has called and sent to many DART responses, including Ukraine and Iraq. They spoke about putting on the armor of God, trusting that the Lord goes before us. We are not promised safety, but God does promise that He is with us always. “God doesn't say you're going to be absolutely fine … but He does promise that He goes with us. And He promises that He goes ahead. And He promises He hems us in from behind. So, we go with His Spirit, and we go knowing that He has a plan, and that He has already paid the ultimate price.” — Kate Allen If you'd like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse, please visit SamaritansPurse.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

President Donald Trump approves a landmark energy deal that will establish a civilian nuclear programme in Saudi Arabia. US lawmakers and Israel warn that if the agreement allows the Gulf state to enrich its own uranium, it could pave the way for it to build its own nuclear weapons - but the US insists the deal upholds the "highest standards of nuclear safety". Saudi Arabia has long wanted US nuclear technology, while the US gets a leg up in the competition with China and Russia to develop civilian nuclear infrastructure in the region.Also: A Florida teenager who sued Meta claiming that he was addicted to and harmed by his use of social media platforms, has dropped his lawsuit.
