The ebola-like outbreak in Tanzania

An outbreak of an unknown disease with symptoms reminiscent of Ebola has occurred in southern Tanzania, the BBC reported.

At the moment, 13 cases have been identified in the country, which is a popular tourist destination, and three have already died. Scientists are trying to identify the causative agent of the disease. Among the symptoms of the disease are severe chills, headache, general fatigue, and nosebleeds.
