Learning from failed responses, such as during the 2000 outbreak in Uganda, the World Health Organization (WHO) established its Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, and other public health measures were instituted in areas at high risk. Field laboratories were established to confirm cases, instead of shipping samples to South Africa.{{Cite journal | pmid=15630468 | doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0010059 | title=Containing the Threat—Don't Forget Ebola | year=2004 | last1=Cohen | first1=J. | journal=PLOS Medicine | volume=1 | pages=e59 | issue=3 | pmc=539049 | doi-access=free }} Outbreaks are also closely monitored by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Special Pathogens Branch.{{cite web | url=https://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/whoweare.htm | title=Mission Statement | date=31 October 2007 | publisher=National Center for Infectious Diseases & Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | access-date=9 September 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092940/http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/whoweare.htm | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url-status=dead | df=dmy-all }}

The last strain Occurred in the Booué area with transport of patients to Libreville. The index case-patient was a hunter who lived in a forest timber camp. The disease was spread by close contact with infected persons. A dead chimpanzee found in the forest at the time was determined to be infected.
