   Uganda reacts angrily as Nigeria confirms its first Ebola case

   The readNigeria has recorded its first case of Ebola during the current outbreak, the country's health ministry has said - as the virus continues to spread internationally.

   Why it mattersThe Uganda travel history establishes a cross-border link for Nigeria’s reported case, but the supplied reporting does not establish Ebola transmission within Nigeria. Kenya’s reported case growth from its first case to nine cases makes regional case counts operationally significant.
