River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after which a severe infectious viral disease is named (5)

I believe the answer is:

ebola

(Other definitions for ebola that I've seen before include "Source of virus" , "Congolese river - serious virus disease" , "Infectious fever" , "Deadly disease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
