The DRC outbreak, which began in August, involved a different strain of Ebola from the one that has claimed more than 5,100 lives in west Africa. &quot;The end of the epidemic... does not mean we are completely out of danger,&quot; said DRC Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi. The outbreak raging in west Africa stems from the Zaire species -- the deadliest of the five known distinct species -- which caused the world's first known Ebola outbreak in 1976 in what is now known as the DRC.</p><br clear="all"/>
