River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that gave its name to a deadly virus (5)

I believe the answer is:

ebola

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
