About 536 people might already have the Ebola virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said although there are 34 confirmed cases, and 134 suspected deaths, there are also 105 probable cases.
In the last 24 to 48 hours, 26 new cases emerged and some 143 new suspected cases, were identified.
CDC said these figures include 2 confirmed cases and 1 death in Uganda.
Researchers suspect the Bundibugyo (Bun-dee-BOO-joh) virus, one of the 4 types of orthoebolaviruses is ramping up infections.
This is the strain found on May 17, in an American, who was caring for patients in the DRC.
The patient was transported to Germany for treatment and care.
Initial samples tested in DRC were negative for the Ebola virus, but by May 15, 8 out of 13 samples tested positive, and 5 were inconclusive.
Researchers used genetic fingerprinting, to ID the illness.
Ebola disease symptoms are fever, headache, vomiting, severe weakness, abdominal pain, nosebleeds, and vomiting blood.
People between the ages of 20 and 39 years old, mostly females, were affected in the DRC.
