They move in cars, public transport, which is obviously a good way of spreading Ebola.
Heather KerrGUEST
And then we have the Congo River, which runs all the way from Kisangani in the province of Chopo, where there are some cases, down to Kinshasa, where we sincerely hope there aren't any cases.
Heather KerrGUEST
But so many people take the river and they hop on and off all the way along the river, And they're very crowded and people come out in their small boats to sell things.
Heather KerrGUEST
So, yeah, there are many different ways that, you know, Ebola can move on the way people use transport in DRC.

However, without a clear indication of an Ebola test being taken at any point during his travels, it is difficult to point out when and where he contracted the virus.

Geomorfologia fluviale lungo cento chilometri di corso del Lualaba.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Nel cuore equatoriale della Repubblica Democratica del Congo, in prossimità della città di Kisangani, il corso del fiume Lualaba compie una drammatica transizione geomorfologica prima di assumere ufficialmente la denominazione di fiume Congo.

In questo tratto il gigantesco bacino idrico incide una serie di gradini tettonici composti da basamenti cristallini e rocce metamorfiche antichissime, dando origine alle cascate Boyoma, note storicamente agli esploratori europei come Cascade Stanley.
speaker_2NARRATOR
A differenza delle cascate a salto singolo verticale, come le cascate Victoria o il Salto dell'Angelo, Boyoma è un complesso idrodinamico formato da una sequenza ininterrotta di sette grandi cateratte intervallate da tratti di rapide vorticose distribuite su un dislivello complessivo di oltre 60 metri lungo una distanza fluviale che supera i 100 chilometri di lunghezza.
speaker_2NARRATOR
L'energia cinetica sprigionata dalla massa d'acqua in caduta crea un fragore udibile a chilometri di distanza e alimenta una perenne coltre di vapore acqueo che satura l'aria circostante, favorendo una rigogliosa vegetazione ripariale popolata da felci arborescenti, orchidee epifite e specie arboree giganti che affondano le radici nelle sponde erose dalla corrente tumultuosa.
