Population mobility is a concern in areas prone to disease outbreaks. Intense mobility, cross border movements, and economic activities contribute to the risk of transmission. The International Organization for Migration is working to understand movement patterns and inform public health interventions.

Recurrent outbreaks occur in a context of insecurity, commercial activities, mining, and agriculture. Mobile populations interact with host communities in various settings, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Further details on population mobility mapping and preparedness efforts are available from the source, including a report on Bundibugyo Virus disease preparedness in specific areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
