    Spotlight 2026-05-24 21:37 UTC

    The provided intelligence does not contain specific data on sustained testing throughput, average turnaround time across ten DRC labs, PARTNERS trial enrollment numbers, pre-EUL vs post-EUL case detection delay or reporting accuracy, or quantitative transmission dynamics for Ituri. Available reports confirm PARTNERS trial opening on 2 July 2026, ongoing community resistance and logistical challenges, and general outbreak figures (906 suspected cases, 223 deaths in DRC as of May 29). Diagnostic EUL has been opened for BDBV nucleic acid tests but no operational throughput metrics are provided.
