2 EBOV genomes listed as DRC whereas actually from COG

[rambaut]

PP_000LEP0.3 and PP_000LEQY.3 are two genomes listed as being from Kelle and Democratic Republic of the Congo but Kelle is in Republic of Congo in the department of Cuvette Ouest. This has been picked up from NCBI.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the note. I've reviewed and agree these sequences are likely from Kelle in the Republic of Congo, based on the outbreak in Cuvette Ouest as described in the linked article.

I've set up the following revisions that are ready to be released upon review by another curator:

PP_000LEP0
Country: Republic of the Congo
Republic of the Congo: Country changed to Republic of Congo based on isolate name and previously reported outbreak in the districts of Mbomo and Kellé in Cuvette Ouest Region of the Republic of the Congo (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(03)00584-X).

PP_000LEQY
Country: Republic of the Congo
Republic of the Congo: Country changed to Republic of Congo based on isolate name and previously reported outbreak in the districts of Mbomo and Kellé in Cuvette Ouest Region of the Republic of the Congo (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(03)00584-X).

Thanks for setting this up @m-a-martin ! I agree that from looking at the original sequence, the article linked, and the wikipedia list of Ebola outbreaks, it seems most likely the Republic of Congo and DRC got mixed up somewhere along the line, and the sequences should be ROC instead.

Will go check this in the revision state on Pathoplexus now and release if looks good.

Released - can watch for when live, and close issue when it is:
