Hemorrhagic

Name: TaLissa Battieste_ Causative Agent: Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Disease: Ebola Virus Classification of the causative agent: The Ebola virus is a member if the family filoviridae and the order mononegavirales and is the causative agent of the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever. These are enveloped viruses that have mini-genomes consisting of a single RNA molecule of negative or anti-MRNA sense. There are five different Ebola virus genomes (BDBV, EBOV, RESTV, SUDV and TAFV) that differ in sequence and the

uproar about the possibility of this virus spreading out globally. This outbreak appeared to have started with a patient who had surgery in Kikwit on April 10, 1995. Members of the surgical team then developed symptoms similar to those of a viral hemorrhagic fever disease (Ebola Info. from the CDC 2). From there, the disease spread to more than 300 others. The most frequent symptoms at the onset were fever (94%), diarrhea (80%), and server weakness (74%); other symptoms included dysphagia (41%) and

. What is Ebola? Ebola, also called Hemorrhagic Fever is a rare deadly disease caused by infection with a strain of ebola virus. This organism causes fever, headache, coughing blood, vomiting blood, severe bleeding, organ failure, and leads to death. It is spread through body fluids and blood of someone who is showing ebola symptoms. Ebola can also be spread by hazardous products (unclean needles or unscreened blood), skin to skin contact, exchanging saliva (kissing, sharing drinks or food)

did not come down with Ebola. It is believed that if the virus can find a host quickly, then it can still survive after it's previous host dies. Ebola is classified as a type of viral hemorrhagic fever, filivirus. The natural host for Ebola is still yet to be defined, but in most cases of a viral hemorrhagic fever, arthropods and rodents, such as ticks and mosquitoes, are the common hosts. Symptoms- there are 2 main

After transmission, there are many different symptoms Rift Valley fever can cause when infecting its host. Not only can they differ between humans and animals, but within those units individuals can experience a wide variety of symptoms ranging from those as mild as headaches and nausea to those more extreme such as meningitis and death. Although throughout history only about 2% of humans infected happened to be fatal, the other 98% suffered through a wide variation of symptoms that focused on

Disease name Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) Four identified subtypes of Ebola: (4) · Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast (cause disease in humans) · Ebola-Reston (cause disease in non-human primates only) Means of Transmission Person-to-person transmission Direct contact of blood, secretions, semen, vomit, diarrhea (1) or organs of infected person Sexually transmitted - “Transmission through semen may occur up to 7 weeks after clinical recovery, as

Valley in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). EVD is a severe, often fatal disease affecting humans, and nonhuman primates. Outbreaks occur in Africa affecting mostly the central and western portions of the continent. Formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, but the recent outbreak illustrates viruses’ ability to manifest itself without hemorrhaging. While EVD can be a deadly disease, its spread can be stymied rather quickly with properly trained, and well equipped personnel, effective disposal

asked me if the Ebola virus is airborne like the influenza virus. Few military personnel would choose to be deployed in Afghanistan with constant mortar attacks rather West Africa. What is the Ebola virus? Key facts: Ebola formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever Background Ebola virus first appeared in 1976 in Nzara, Sudan and Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo, later occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which he disease takes its name. Current out break West Africa cases as early as

The Ebola virus is the causative agent of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola HF). Ebola is severe and often fatal among both humans and animals with mortality rates reaching as high as 90% in some outbreaks. Ebola was named for the river in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) in Africa where it was first recognized in 1976. Four strains of Ebola have since been identified: Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Ivory Coast, and Ebola-Reston. All but Ebola-Reston are known to cause disease in humans. ​(

it are, an IV, making sure that blood pressure stays normal, and treat all other infections with antibiotics, aspirin, Tylenol, and prescriptions. Also a few fun facts about Ebola that I think people should know. Ebola is formally known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Ebola is not airborne, or water borne, it is transmitted. Ebola is treated by keeping bodily fluids maintained and under
