The experts had been working in some of the DRC's "hot spots" to help control the ongoing outbreak of the virus.
According to the World Health Organization, there have been more than200 confirmed Ebola cases, including more than 130 deaths.
On Wednesday, the WHO will meet to decide whether the situation is an an international public health emergency, and to discuss recommendations to manage the outbreak.
