Ebola The theme of all the articles I have read has all resulted in devastating effects of the rare and deadly Ebola virus that has affected the human body. Ebola disease is transmitted by contact with body fluids, blood, and tissues of animals or even people who have been infected with the disease. Also, Ebola can be spread through bedding, needles, clothing or medical equipment. Researchers believe that the virus originates from infected fruit bats. But, they believe that the Ebola virus moves

medically diagnosed as epidemic dysentery but was suspected by other medical providers to something else (7). The specimens of the patients were then sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in which was diagnosed as Ebola viral hemorrhagic fever, to conform their suspicion (7). This was the first large outbreak of the virus and has since then been a topic of study because of its high mortality. Diagnosis of EBO virus is accomplished in a variety of ways. The biosafety

the incoming phone call was From the CDC ; Centers For Disease Control. Anyway, the doctor’s urgent tone of voice and short message caused me some level of distress, so I was silent while I listened to his brief message: “There is an unknown hemorrhagic agent causing terror and death in The Republic of the Congo, there is a possibility that this is an airborne biosafety level four agent. Come to Africa immediately.” Jeez, I thought aloud, an airborne level four agent, every doctor’s nightmare.

Outbreak). Since then, many cases have appeared sporadically and have left many in fear. Two imported cases were reported in the U.S. but precautions are being taken to prevent the virus from spreading frantically. Ebola, previously known as a hemorrhagic fever, is a deadly disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are the third leading cause of death in the United States and the first leading cause of death worldwide (3). Thus, should EID's be considered an oncoming threat to human existence or is it God's response to our unbiblical stewardship of the Earth or is it nature's practical solution to overpopulation. Past EIDs Since the beginning of time, human existence has been overwhelmed by threatening diseases. To begin

Ebola is the better-known member of a small family of viruses known as Filoviridae. The other lesser-known member is Marburg. The Ebola virus has five known subtypes, four of which are highly pathogenic to humans. The fifth, Ebola Reston Virus was first isolated in a group of primates that had been imported from the Philippines to a research laboratory in Reston, Virginia. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, within weeks, the same virus was isolated during similar outbreaks

Ebola (HF) Virus The virus was known. They knew that it was deadly. They knew how it was transmitted, but still failed to achieve the precautions for the deadly Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever virus (Farmer 1). People never suspected that they would have to face the virus, but little did they know, it would show up some time or another. It was a monster that was naked to the human eye that claimed thousands of lives during the outbreaks in 1976 and 2014. The virus was discovered in 1976, leaving people

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

couple of months, the internet, the social media, the news all had been swarmed by a disease called Ebola. What exactly is Ebola and why is everyone frightened by it? Some background information, Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola Hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans if untreated. It is thought that fruits bats are the natural Ebola virus hosts. It is introduced to the human population through close contact with the blood secretions, organs and other bodily fluids

Ebola The Killer Virus Ebola hemorrhagic fever, better known as Ebola, has been the subject of much debate and speculation as of the last couple months. This virus kills half of those who become infected and is very contagious, but the one question that many have about this deadly threat is where did it come from? And what important information should I know about it? Where and when did it all start? This deadly virus’s origins link it back to its discovery near the Ebola River, in what is now the
