Kenya has confirmed a third case of the Ebola Bundibugyo virus. The patient, a 65-year-old woman, is a primary contact and a close relative of the first and second cases and had been under quarantine.

All that has been definitively confirmed is there was a death of a scientist working in an anti-plague in Russia, @BhadeliaMD tells @CNBC. Conflicting reports of other situation details make it difficult to speculate further details.
