Africa's outbreak of the Ebola virus has passed more than 10,000 cases, health authorities said Tuesday, with the vast majority located in Democratic Republic of Congo. There are currently no approved vaccines for the rare Bundibugyo species of Ebola driving the current infections.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the outbreak surpassing 10,000 cases and place the focus on the Democratic Republic of Congo. France 24 sticks to the regional tally and notes, uniquely in its extract, that there are currently no approved vaccines for the Bundibugyo species driving the infections. Al Jazeera instead foregrounds the pace of spread and says, in its extract, that nearly half of confirmed cases have died.
