Ebola (Ebola Virus Disease)

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is the most commonly fatal disease affecting humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees). It is caused by a virus infection of the Ebola virus group.

Of these, only four (Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Tayvirus, and Bundibyo virus) cause disease in humans. Reston virus is known to cause disease in non primitive primates and pigs. It is unknown whether Bon Burivirus, which was recently found in bats, causes disease in animals or humans.

The Ebola virus was first discovered near the Ebola River in 1976 and is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, this virus sometimes infects humans and causes eruptions in several African countries. Scientists do not know the source of Ebola virus infection. However, depending on the nature of the virus, they believe that the virus is animal-mediated and bats are the most likely source of infection. Bats carrying viruses may infect other animals such as apes, monkeys, reindeers, and humans.

Ebola virus is transmitted to people through direct contact with body fluids of people who died of EVD patients or EVD. This occurs when a person contacts infected body fluids (or objects contaminated by them) and the virus enters through the damaged skin or mucosa in the eyes, nose, or mouth. Viruses can also be transmitted to humans by direct contact with infected fruit bat or primate blood, body fluids and tissues. People may also be infected by sexual contact

Ebola survivors may experience difficult side effects such as fatigue after recovery, muscle pain, eye and vision problems, and stomach pain. Survivors may also be blamed when they reenter the community.

A previously known Ebola virus disease or Ebola hemorrhagic fever has been caused by the Ebola virus. This is a rare but serious disease seen in African countries, often leading to fatal consequences (25 to 90% of infected people). Diffusion of virus occurs among people by direct contact with blood and other body fluids. The outbreak of Ebola virus, first recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976, was called Zaire, all subsequent occurrences occurred in Africa.

The countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in West Africa are severely damaged by Ebola hemorrhagic fever caused by Ebola virus. Ebola virus was discovered in 1976. Since then, the epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) causes many lives, thousands of people suffer. According to the latest report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of June 5, 2015, there were about 16,523 cases, of which 6,343 were fatal. Despite the worldwide efforts to control AIDS, the Ebola virus epidemic not only brought about a significant mortality rate but also brought stigma. Declining communities, physical violence and quality of life affected by EVD-related stigma are isolated and eliminated. We are not too worried about prejudice and discrimination related to EVD
