Ugandan officials are preparing to deploy a trial vaccine as part of efforts to stem an outbreak of Ebola in the capital, Kampala

Ugandan health officials on Thursday confirmed a case of Ebola in the capital Kampala, in a nurse who sought care at a number of facilities.

Ugandan authorities have begun a clinical trial of a vaccine against the Sudan strain of Ebola that has killed one person in the outbreak declared last week.

Nine people were confirmed to have Ebola virus in Uganda and around 265 others are being monitored under quarantine, health authorities have said. The nine include the first victim, a male nurse who died the day before the outbreak was declared on January 30.
