Savage Ebola Research Paper

The purpose of this article is to inform the reader about the case. It informs the reader about the specific case as well as providing information about previous cases of the plague in the area and in the U.S.

This article is mainly about the Justinian Plague that killed up to 50 million people, around 1,500 years ago. This happened around Asia, Africa and Europe. This disease was passed onto human from rodents.A lot of studies show that the bacteria that caused this illness will no longer be found. People who had Justinian Plague and the Black Plague had similar symptoms, and scientists think that the same bacteria caused both of these diseases.

The pandemic struck the world and infected 1/3 of earth’s human population, killing over 50 million humans. The world’s top doctors have never witnessed anything of this killing magnitude besides the bubonic plague of 1348 but the transmissibility is of nothing they’ve ever seen in their lifetime or of recorded history. People abruptly became aware of the importance of health, and need of medicine and cleanliness.

Though it seems impossible because of how long it has been since the plague reigned and how safe our earth may seem, scientists are now staging a fair warning: the plague may return to earth. Because of the way that it spreads: from rodents to humans, and can raise and fall so quickly, there is realistically not reason to convey that this could not happen again. It is in fact very possible. If other epidemics can come and go without knowledge of origin, What is to say another can’t do

The Great Plague of London in the 17th century killed one fifth of the population. The plague still exists today but it is highly treatable with anti-biotics. Also, our 21st century has better sanitary conditions that would restrict its

Just as people thought everything was well, population growing gradually, years of good harvest, this tragic plague struck. The stories told by my relatives scare me half to death, and I am quite glad I hadn’t the opportunity to experience such a disease. Its name first heard in Europe around the year of 1347, the plague stretched across our country, killing everything in its path. A friend of my grandfather’s was one of the first victims. The symptoms were even more horrific than the simple ring to the name: “high fever, aching joints, dark blotches caused by bleeding beneath the skin” the worst of it consisting of massive oozing boils latched onto the body.

224 years ago, in 1793, a yellow fever epidemic roared over Philadelphia. This was a devastating time for all Philadelphians. Although there were no cures, there were treatments. There were two types of doctors back in this time; the French doctors and the American. Mosquitos are the cause of this. They (the mosquitos) got infected by the refuges. The mosquitos spread the yellow fever to mankind. This epidemic killed a couple thousand people.

The Bubonic Plague of 2014 has happened and people are wondering if they can it get and wonder why is this happening. There were 15 cases reported to Centers Of Disease Control and four cases were fatal. On the average seven cases are reported each year. Health Care providers are noticing the plague in patients with these symptoms. The Plague usually occurs in semi rural areas and rural areas. The 2014 cases were reported in eight states.Now scientist are coming up with many different medications that we can use to treat like antibiotics. When the Black Plague happened they haven't came up with medications to treat anyone yet and so many people died. Just like the Black Plague everything was caused by a flea. The plague occurs in the late spring

Some people may not realize that the plague to abolish about one third of Europe's population, is still infecting humans. In the 2000s, over 20,000 people became infected by the bubonic plague, but now because of the medical advancements since the medieval times, it doesn't take as many lives. During the 13th through 14th century, when the pandemic had reached its all time high, it had came through fleas biting humans and many had to suffer through the agonizing symptoms. Then it had finally simmered down, but there were long lasting effects from the plague.

It was believed in the middle ages that this disease was caused by poor hygiene, bad eating habits, corrupted humid air, and a lack of rest. Once a person was thought to be infected the doctors would move them to a non-infected area thinking that this would heal the persons illness instead this transported the disease even further than normal. In modern times we have made leaps and bounds to control this illness. One of the main problems of the plague is that it is not treatable until the victim gets tested and confirmed that the plague is the illness. Once that is done they will start receiving high doxycycline doses and many other types of antibiotics. The mortality rate for someone that is not treated is 50-90% compared to treated cases of 1-15%.

The records and prediction of the world health organization for the number of people that would be infected by the pandemic in the near future.

The Ebola Haemorrahagic Fever, or Ebola for short, was first recognized as a virus in 1967. The first breakout that caused the Ebola virus to be recognized was in Zaire with 318 people infected and 280 killed. There are five subtypes of the Ebola virus, but only four of them affect humans. There are the Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast and the Ebola-Bundibugyo. The fifth one, the Ebola-Reston, only affects nonhuman primates. The Ebola-Zaire was recognized on August 26, 1976 with a 44 year old schoolteacher as the first reported case. The Ebola-Sudan virus was also recognized in 1976 and was thought to be that same as Ebola-Zaire and it is thought to have broken out in a cotton factory in the Sudan. The Ebola-Ivory Coast was

Normally infecting fruit bats, the Ebola virus found a mutation allowing it to spread to humans. This virus is an acute and often fatal illness. This virus first erupted in two outbreaks in 1976 (one occurring in Nzara and Sudan, while the other occurred in a village near the Ebola river, where the virus takes its name.) The current outbreak, starting in West Africa with the potential to spread throughout the world,  is  larger and more complex than previous outbreaks. This virus has caused more deaths than all other past Ebola outbreaks combined. With approximately five people infected with the virus every hour in Sierra Leone alone, how far – and how fast – will the Ebola virus go?

After being infected with the Ebola virus it takes 2-21 days to take effect. It depends if you had a direct infection, such as a hypodermic needle or a syringe, or a less direct infection, such as close contact(www.lfc.edu/`musilam/bio3.html 3). This is just enough time to get on a plane and spread it to people in another area. This could
