Ebola

The first Ebola outbreak was in 1967. Recently there has been another one in the northwestern coast of Africa. Many people misunderstood what Ebola is. Ebola, known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is a rare and deadly disease. That is caused by infection with one of the Ebola species. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 at the Ebola River which is currently the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, not many outbreaks have occurred. That is until 2014 many more outbreaks have taken place in Africa

Ebola Virus also known as EVD was discovered in West Africa around 1976. The affected region in Congo was near the Ebola River, which is how the virus got its name. The first two outbreaks were in Nzara, Sudan and Yambuku. Ebola is an infectious and generally fatal disease marked by fever and severe internal bleeding. It is spread through contact with infected body fluids, whose normal host species is unknown. It can be transmitted through wild animals, and after affected, through human to human

Ebola has affected many African countries such as Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. In fact, “these countries have experienced the largest known Ebola virus disease epidemic with approximately 13,000 persons infected as of October 28, 2014” (Chevalier, Chung, & Smith, 2014). Then in late September 2014, a 45-year-old male who had arrived in the United States from Liberia 5 days earlier went to a Texas emergency department. It then came to the attention that this patient had Ebola and the CDC implemented

The Ebola virus is a pandemic that is of much concern around the world, lately. It was not always a concern of this magnitude. Ebolavirus is the etiologic agent. It is a relatively new virus, introduced just in 1970. It was first discovered in Sudan and Zaire (it was named after the Ebola river is Zaire). The first outbreak occurred in Sudan infecting about 284 people, with a mortality rate of 53% (Waterman, 1999). Just a few months later, the second strain of the Ebola virus (Eboz) became prevalent

EBOLA WHAT IS EBOLA Ebolavirus is a member of the Filoviridae virus family and there are five strains known. Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) is the virus currently being battled in west africa and across the world. Ebola is a deadly and rare disease that is caused by infection with one of the five Ebola Virus strains. Ebola is considered a viral disease that can be highly contractible when in contact with bodily fluids of the infected. EBOV is the most deadly of the five strains with a mortality rate between

pursuit of controlling and isolating the Ebola virus disease. Ebola is a disease that not only consumes the lives of many, but also consumes the infrastructure of many villages, towns, and their way of life. The Ebola virus is one of the most dangerous diseases because it suppresses the immune system, damages the vascular system, leads to multiple organ failure, and hemorrhagic fever along with a chain of various other symptoms. It is not one single phase of Ebola that has up to a 90 percent mortality

Ebola is a rare and deadly virus that is transmitted through wild animals and human-to-human contact. Ebola does not transmit through air, water, food, or mosquitoes. This virus has a high risk of death. It first appeared in 1976 in 2 outbreaks which occurred at the same time in Nzara, Sudan and Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. Ebola got its name from the Ebola River located nearby where the disease was first discovered. The 2014 outbreak in west Africa is the largest since 1976. There have

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

Ebola or also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever in years past is a rare and very deadly disease if left untreated. Ebola is caused by an infection with one of the five Ebola virus strains. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name (World Health Organization, 2015). The disease is known to

Recognizing Patterns in the 2013-2016 Ebola Outbreak Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are five identified ebola virus species: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Taï Forest virus (Taï Forest ebolavirus); and the Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). The fifth, Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus), causes disease in nonhuman primates. There have been ebola outbreaks in Africa starting in 1976
