Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever is a deadly disease that has occurred in outbreaks in Central Africa. The cause for Ebola is unknown and there is no cure for it. The only way to prevent it is to stay away from areas with outbreak. Some symptoms include sudden fever, weakness, muscle pain, headache, and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, limited kidney and liver functions, and both internal and external bleeding. These usually show anywhere from 2 to 20 days after infection is contracted. If you think you have or are may have this disease, it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
As in the Ebola virus? The Ebola virus is a hemorrhagic virus. It was first reported in the Ebola River Valley in the Republic of Congo, which was formerly Zaire. This virus destroys the interior of the blood vessels and is transmitted by bodily fluids.
There are five different strains of Ebola Virus; the Zaire, Sudan, Reston, Cote d’lvoire and Bundibugyo. The Zaire strain was the first and is the most lethal of all the Ebola strains, its mortality rate is around 90%. The Sudan strain has a mortality rate of only about 55% and the Bundibugyo only 34%. The Cote d’lvoire strain only causes severe fevers, while the Reston is very lethal to monkeys and pigs but cannot infect humans.
The early stages of Ebola are not extremely contagious. People can interact with an infected person and not catch the virus. However, when the virus grows strong in its host and starts to damage the blood cells of the victim, it then becomes very contagious and dangerous. While there are vaccines, they can only protect non-human primates and even the vaccines only work 33% of the time. Some people are able to fight off the virus naturally but most have to go to the hospital. Doctors will replace the victim’s blood, give them oxygen and antibiotics to help fight other infections that can occur.
(My son wrote an article on it a couple of months ago, the above is part of his article)
My student asked that and I could barely gave satisfying answer. I only told him that it was a deadly virus.
lol. Well I’m glad to hear that you do not have it, and that I could help give you a more in depth answer.
